'It's a year since I've been singing after stroke' — Lira marks a milestone
Lira is beaming with pride as she marks a milestone since making her musical comeback.
In 2022, the singer travelled to Germany for a performance but suffered a stroke that affected her ability to communicate. After undergoing treatment led by 'the best medical team available', she healed and made a return to the music scene in May last year.
Taking to Instagram recently, Lira, whose real name is Lerato Molapo, reflected on her journey.
'The first time I performed in a public space at last year's Mother's Day celebration at Nirox Foundation with the Johannesburg Philharmonic with Maleh, May 12 2024. It's a year since I've been singing post stroke.'
