Mzansi Afro-pop and soul singer Lerato Moipone ‘Lira’ Molapo, shared an update on her health after suffering a stroke that affected her speech while in Germany in April 2022.
In an update to her fans, Feel Me Good hitmaker Lira said her speech is “healing slowly,”. However, she remains sane throughout her recovery. Lira shared her first post of the year featuring her sizzling vacation at an undisclosed destination and updated her fans on her health.

On 22 August, she announced that she was making huge progress in her recovery. The songbird said she was able to write and speak, though she needed more time. Lira continued to thank her fans for the overwhelming love and messages of prayers.
“Yesterday marked 3 months since I had a stroke. I’ve made such awesome progress- I’m proud of myself and I give thanks to God. Your prayers have been massively appreciated. I can talk now, although I need a little patience. I can read and I can write. So much love for me, makes me emotional. I am doing so well.,” she wrote.
