Winnie Khumalo, a renowned veteran musician in the South African entertainment industry, has made a poignant plea to the nation to offer their prayers and support for her daughter, Rethabile Khumalo, who has been hospitalized in a critical condition. According to Winnie’s statement, the popular singer and songwriter, known for her hit song “Ntyilo Ntyilo,” was allegedly poisoned by a friend, leading to a harrowing ordeal over the past six days.
During this time, Rethabile has undergone three crucial surgical interventions as medical professionals work tirelessly to stabilize her precarious state. The gravity of the situation is underscored by Winnie’s heartfelt appeal, emphasizing the severity of her daughter’s condition and the family’s urgent need for the collective prayers and well-wishes of the South African public.
This troubling incident has undoubtedly shaken the music community and sparked concerns about the safety and wellbeing of artists, reminding us of the challenges they sometimes face, even from those they may consider close confidants. As the nation rallies behind Winnie and Rethabile during this difficult time, the hope is that the power of communal support and the healing process can help the ailing musician recover and eventually return to the stage, continuing to captivate audiences with her remarkable talent.
Through a post on her Instagram stories, Winnie passionately urged Rethabile to keep fighting, emphasizing that her young son and the broader community need her. At just 27 years old, Rethabile, known for her 2019 hit song “Umlilo” featuring DJ Zinhle, welcomed her first child, Culo, into the world in December of the previous year.
“Fight, your son needs you. We all do,” she pleaded.
