South African gospel legend Solly Moholo is in a dire situation as his health continues to deteriorate, leaving his family with mounting medical bills. Following a recent stroke that landed him in the hospital, Moholo’s family and the Limpopo Artists Movement (LAM) have publicly pleaded for financial assistance to cover his urgent medical needs. According to Daily Sun, the renowned Thaba Ya Sione hitmaker requires R700,000 to pay for his medical bills and undergo necessary surgery.
Mphoza Mashabela, founder of LAM, has called on the public and the Department of Sports, Arts, and Culture to step in and assist. “We’re requesting the minister of sport, arts, and culture to assist the singer’s family. We are just waiting for his response to our appointment. We as the movement are seeking medical assistance urgently from the public. Our beloved colleague and renowned artist, Solly Moholo, has recently suffered a severe injury while performing in Botswana. This has left the family with a significant financial burden,” Mashabela explained.
He added that Moholo, who has contributed immensely to the South African music industry, now needs the public’s support. “The medical expenses for Solly Moholo’s treatment are substantial, and as a community deeply committed to supporting our artists, we’re asking for your help. Any financial contribution, no matter the size, will go directly towards covering Solly’s medical bills and aiding in his recovery process.”
In an earlier report, Briefly News highlighted the overwhelming response from South African musicians who have rallied behind Moholo, vowing to offer their support. Gospel powerhouse Rebecca Malope and kwaito star Doc Shebeleza are among those who have expressed their willingness to help the singer during this challenging time.
Moholo’s long career has touched the hearts of many South Africans through his powerful gospel music, and now his family hopes that the nation can show the same generosity in return.
