A Life Changed Forever: Puleng Reflects on the Accident
The lives of everyone involved in that tragic car accident were irrevocably changed. For Puleng Phoofolo, losing her friends Malome Vector, Lizwi Wokuqala, and Da Mos was more than just a loss; it was like losing family. These individuals were not just colleagues but brothers to her, and their absence has left a profound void in her life. Puleng shared her raw emotions with Briefly News journalist Mbali Tebele, discussing how the accident has impacted her physically and emotionally.
She admitted that healing is a long and difficult process, both mentally and physically. After spending 40 days in the hospital recovering from her injuries, Puleng was finally discharged, but the road to recovery is far from over. Her relationship with the three artists who passed away was incredibly close, and their loss continues to weigh heavily on her heart. Da Mos, known as Musa, had worked on several of her music videos, while Lizwi and she shared a home, and Malome frequently visited them in Midrand. Their bond was unshakable, and their absence is deeply felt.
“Since the accident, I’ve been hospitalized. It’s only now, after 40 days of being admitted, that I was discharged. It’s not easy, as I’m still trying to heal some of my injuries. My relationship with the guys was so close, like a family. We considered each other brothers and sisters. Da Mos, known as Musa, shot a few of my music videos. We would meet during shoots, Lizwi and I lived together, and Malome would visit us every day.”
