UKHOZI FM presenter Irvin "DJ Amen" Sihlophe is recovering in hospital.

Amen, who now he hosts and produce sports shows on the KZN-based station, suffered a stroke and was admitted in hospital on Friday, 3 November.

While his phone was off when Daily Sun tried to reach him, a close friend revealed that he is now making progress in the hospital.

"When he was admitted in hospital, his condition was critical. But now he is recovering, and physiotherapists are working on his affected arm and leg.

"He can now talk, but his doctors advised him to switch off his phone and take a rest for a speedy recovery. We were trying our best to keep this a secret,” the friend said.

Another close friend of DJ Amen, Mjostana "Pastor Mjosty" Mbhele, told Daily Sun that people must not panic as he is recovering well.

“Although his condition was critical when he was admitted in the hospital, he is recovering compared to the time he was admitted. He is talking because his mouth was not affected," he said.


He said doctors were dealing with his high blood pressure and diabetes while physiotherapists were dealing with his arm and leg.

“Maybe doctors will keep him in hospital for two weeks just to let physiotherapists deal with his affected arm and leg while they monitor his BP and sugar diabetes.

“It is quite shocking because we were still shocked by L’vovo's stroke from last year, and now it has attacked Irvin,” he said.
