South African Music promoter and businessman Prosper Mkwaiwa has been in a coma with severe injuries following a car accident on sunday.
Mkwaiwa was reportedly flung out of the car during the accident in which his Mercedes Benz AMG overturned.
The accident took place in Pretoria on Church Street at about 9am on Sunday.
He was admitted at Pretoria’s Steve Biko Academic hospital.
His wife Tina, in tears and distraught, confirmed her husband’s accident and hospitalisation.
In low spirits she says the doctors informed her that Mkwaiwa had dislocated his jaw and also sustained severe head injuries.
“It’s true, my husband was in an accident yesterday morning on his way home from a meeting. His condition is really bad. I can’t see him right now because he is in theatre,” she says.
“I am traumatized, I could not identify him when I saw him lying in bed with tubes, I am confused, can’t sleep and highly stressed,” she says.
“I don’t know if he will be able to talk, or walk when he recovers. I am anxious,” she adds.
Tina says strange things keep happening to the couple, just three months ago she survived a car crash in her Compressor.
“I don’t know what is happening, we both have been in accidents now and it was the same thing with me.”
The singer says she had plans of releasing her album this year but will now be putting those plans on hold to focus on her husbands’ wellbeing and businesses.
“I have been working on my album and was going to launch it before the end of the year, but now I will have to concentrate on tenders and contracts as well as support him,” she says.
“My music is less important right now, I need my husband to survive and will make sure he gets all the help he needs.”
