Mzansi musical group Black Motion member Murdah Bongz, real name Bongani Mahosana, fell on a set og a video recording and has survived a near-debilitating injury.
After falling three metres down the stairs, Mahosana nearly broke his back last week at Shine Studios in Braamfontein, where he was allegedly shooting an upcoming music show that will air on SABC1.
According to an eyewitness, the musician, who is dating DJ Zinhle lost conciousness after landing hard on his back.
Thank heavens, he did not suffer any serious injuries. According to the source, the crew and some cast members tried to aid Mahosana who was failing to get up. “For a second, I thought he had broken his spine, but when he eventually got up it was a huge relief. “They were shooting with DJ Tira and DJ Speedsta among other famous people. He missed a step and came rolling down,” said the source.
According to another source, currently, Mohosana is home resting and taking care of his back. “He has seen an orthopedic [doctor], and he was told he is lucky; it could have been worse. He was also told to take it easy on stage to avoid straining his back.”
Mohosana refused to comment, saying he doesn’t want to think back on the incident.
Black Motion comprises Mahosana and Thabo “Smol” Mabogwane. The afro-house duo is among South Africa’s most influential artists. They have recorded six albums and over 40 singles in the past decade.
