DJ Shimza, who was admitted to hospital this week.
“DJ SHIMZA”, real name Ashley Raphala, survived a health
scare while travelling in Lesotho.
DJ Shimza was admitted to hospital on Wednesday
afternoon.
The Tembisa-born DJ, who is putting final touches to his
seventh annual One Man Show to take place on Christmas Day at
Mehlareng Stadium, in Tembisa, posted a picture of himself on Instagram in a
hospital bed with drips just after lunch time.
When called by the SunTeam, DJ Shimza confirmed he was
indeed in hospital.
He said he was on a work assignment when he took
ill.
“I had severe diarrhoea and gastric acid problems. I was
placed on a drip when I got to Lesotho on Wednesday for rehydration and to
replace lost electrolytes in my body. I’m okay and working now,” he said.
DJ Shimza is known as one of the hardest working DJs
among his peers.
His One Man Show supports over 1 000
children from Tembisa.
He’s still signed to DJ Black Coffee’s Soulistic Music.
This despite reports about him leaving the record label following allegations of
lack of poor marketing for his music by the label’s executives.
DJ Shimza has worked with Cueber and Dr Malinga on hits
like Akulalwa, Let The World Dance and others.
He assured his fans his show will go
ahead as planned.
