World-renowned musician Lira has opened up about regaining her speech and learning to communicate again after she suffered a stroke in April. 

Talking on Facebook and Instagram last week, the “Rise Again” hitmaker shared the exciting news with her fans. 

She shared a video clip from one of her remarkable performances of her hit single “Something Inside So Strong,” with a caption: “Yesterday marked three months since I had a stroke. 

“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 continued: “I’ve made such awesome progress. I’m proud of myself and I give thanks to God. Your prayers have been massively appreciated.” 

Fans and industry friends flooded Lira’s comment section, to thank God and celebrate the singer’s milestone.

“Amen. God is watching from a distance, baby girl. Let there be light,” wrote veteran singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka. “God is good!” commented actress and film-maker Connie Ferguson. 

“God sees, He knows and He cares. You are the apple of His eye. Jehovah Rapha, our healer is with you darling. Sending you deep love Sis’,” said TV producer Basetsana Kumalo.

“Sending you so much love,” expressed gospel star Lebo Sekgobela. “We love you. May God show off with your life,” added actress Salamina Mosese. — IOLNews
