“I won’t be taking any bookings for the next six weeks or more and will keep all posted on when I will be ready for performances. Thanks for all the support and prayers.”

According to her husband and manager Thapelo, she’ll only start performing in July.

“The nature of her surgery can’t be communicated as we prefer it to be private.

She’ll not take booking or do any interviews for the next seven weeks to allow her full recovery.

“We anticipate her first live performance will be on 3 July in Namibia as confirmed.”

Her post drew hundreds of messages from gospel colleagues and fans, who wished her well.
