Popular DJ Kyeezi survives horror hit-and-run accident
Popular Good Hope FM radio presenter Khanya 'Kyeezi' Siyengo was involved in a serious car accident in Cape Town this weekend.
The incident that has sent ripples through South Africa's broadcasting community.
The crash occurred when another motorist allegedly ran a red light, colliding with Siyengo's BMW 420i – and fled the scene.
Despite the severity of the collision, Siyengo incredibly escaped with no major physical injuries, although he has described the experience as emotionally overwhelming.
According to Siyengo, the driver responsible has been identified as Michael Jamiu, a Nigerian national allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time.
Jamiu was reportedly driving a Mercedes Maybach when the crash occurred.
In a dramatic twist, he fled the scene, abandoning his luxury vehicle – and unintentionally leaving behind his passport and personal belongings, which are now in the possession of authorities.
In a statement shared via social media, Siyengo expressed immense gratitude for escaping unharmed but admitted to being emotionally shaken by the traumatic event.
'I am currently taking time to process the emotional impact of this accident,' he said.
'I'm incredibly thankful for my family, who are helping me through this.'
The wreckage of his BMW stands as a stark reminder of how narrowly he avoided serious harm.
Siyengo has issued an apology to his clients, partners, and supporters for any missed commitments over the weekend, reaffirming his dedication even amid personal turmoil.
His management team has requested privacy during this period as he focuses on healing mentally and emotionally.
Authorities are actively pursuing Jamiu, with the personal items left at the scene expected to assist in the investigation.
The alleged drunk driving and hit-and-run charges are likely to carry serious legal consequences.
Kyeezi's ordeal serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of reckless driving, especially under the influence.
As Cape Town's media community rallies around him, fans and fellow broadcasters have flooded social media with messages of support and well-wishes.
