"Sending all our love, Les and family" - South African celebrities are praying for Da L.E.S after his health scare...
Celebrities, including Tamara Dey and Pearl Thusi, are wishing rapper Da L.E.S a speedy recovery after he suffered a stroke.
Shortly before the 'All Eyes On Me' musician was set to appear at his birthday celebration at a club in Rosebank, it was announced that he would no longer attend.
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Da L.E.S. will unfortunately not be in attendance at his birthday celebration this evening. Thank you for understanding," a post on his Instagram page read.
It was later announced that Da L.E.S., whose real name is Leslie Mampe, had suffered a stroke on Friday, July 26.
"Whilst he is in a stable condition, this remains a challenging time for his loved ones, and his family call on the public to keep him in their thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult period," his family said in a statement.
