Gospel Singer Solly Moholo needs R700k for treatment

Renowned gospel artist Solly Moholo has been hospitalised and is in urgent need of brain surgery, with his family seeking R700,000 to cover the costs.

The beloved singer was recently moved from a hospital in Botswana to a South African medical facility after falling ill during a tour, and he remains in the intensive care unit (ICU).


### Solly Moholo’s Health Crisis
Solly Moholo, well known for his energetic performances and inspiring gospel music, fell ill last week while on tour in Botswana. His sudden health deterioration led to an immediate hospital admission in Botswana.

However, his condition required more specialised care, prompting his transfer to a South African hospital, where doctors discovered the critical need for brain surgery.


As the family grapples with this unexpected and challenging situation, they have made a public appeal for financial support to help cover his escalating medical expenses.

A statement released this week by Solly’s family revealed the urgent need for R700,000 to proceed with the surgery, which is essential for saving his life.


### Family’s Appeal for Help
The family’s statement, shared by Solly Moholo’s management team, expressed gratitude for the public’s support and outlined the severity of his condition. The message read: “As Solly Moholo’s management team, we just wanted to update you as his fans regarding Solly Moholo’s recent hospitalisation.

The letter below is written on behalf of the family by Solly Moholo’s legal representatives, with the accompanying banking details for those who would like to contribute towards his medical bills.”


The statement also included banking details, encouraging fans, friends, and well-wishers to donate any amount they could afford to help with the surgery costs. The family is hopeful that the public’s generosity will aid in securing the funds needed to proceed with the life-saving operation.


### A Heartfelt Plea
TshisaLIVE reported that Solly’s condition had been deteriorating since his Botswana tour, with the singer initially admitted to a hospital in Botswana over the weekend.

By Wednesday, his health situation had grown more dire, necessitating his transfer to a South African facility. His management team updated his fans later in the week, saying, “Solly was transferred to a South African hospital last night [Wednesday]. He is in ICU, and doctors [have] discovered he urgently needs a brain operation.

[At] this difficult time, his family, team, and friends need your assistance in keeping him alive. Any amount of money would be appreciated. If you want to donate, please use the banking details.”


The family’s plea comes amid increasing financial pressure, highlighting the often overlooked challenges artists face when dealing with medical emergencies. Moholo’s situation has struck a chord with many, as he is not the only artist recently in need of assistance.


### Challenges Faced by Artists in Medical Emergencies
The gospel singer’s case mirrors that of rapper Da L.E.S, who recently suffered a stroke and faced similar financial challenges. Da L.E.S was transferred from a private hospital to a public one due to the high costs, with his family also reaching out to friends for financial support.


As the public rallies behind Solly Moholo, his family remains hopeful that the collective effort will make a difference in his recovery journey. For those who wish to contribute, donations can be made directly to the provided banking details.
