First of all, before watching, let's praise the Almighty God for his miraculous healing work in Lira and all of us.
Let me say to you my psychologist once told me that denialism and wishful thinking will not help anyone especially those who are experiencing a health issue also and finally as Christians we need to learn that faith does not mean a denial of facts
AMEN
Amen 🙏
We truly give thanks to God for the wonderful miracle He has performed upon her life indeed God is able
Alleluia
It was so beautiful seeing you at the shops the other day. You parked next to me, I wanted to ask you how you were doing but decided not to overwhelm you. I sat there, while you sat in your car and prayed for you and thanked GOD for you. You are so special, our wedding song was "Ngiyazifela" - gives us butterflies each time. We love you and bless GOD for your recovery and all that HE will do and is doing through you.
This is beautiful ❤
That’s so beautiful 🙏🏾💕
Oh wow ..beautiful❤
This is beautiful...So happy to see and hear from Lira. God is good all the time.❤
Wow I thank God for your life sis Lirato❤❤❤
10 years ago I had my stroke. 34 new mom. On my way to dance class i knock a guy with my car because i did not see the guy. As i get out of my car my one eye cant see. Spent 2 weeks in the hospital and transferred to another hospitalfor anothertwo weeks. I get dischargedand my first morningback home i am on the phone with my mother and she starts to panic and says. Lebo you are having anotherstroke. .Lira you will come back. I am living proof. Loosing my voice was not easy and getting it back was a blessing. I am you. You are me!
Thank God for your recovery, I'm speechless with joy for your coming around so well and becoming an inspiration sweetheart, I hope you share love daily to your loved ones as this teaches us that life is short and we need to count our blessings all the time!!!😍
She will sing again and win the Grammy. God is faithful
The part where Relebogile asked if it was helpful if she suggests the words or wait for her to find the words was amazing 👏 What a great, patient and kind interviewer ❤️ 💖 ♥️ . I wish more people were like her. Also love you Sis LIRA 😍
Relebogile I like her interviews even on the podcast she was such a mindful interviewer ❤️💞
I have always loved Lira, I love her more now. But Relebogile's approach to the interview is so unbelievably considerate.
She's SO AMAZING🥺❤️
The best...!
very much💙💙💙
Look at God! I went through the same thing when I had Covid, had 2 strokes and I was literally gone. God saved me. Had speech difficulties, reading difficulties. Till now I'm recovering, still have remembrance issues, my speech has drastically improved. I was bitter when people around me expected the person they knew before the Covid, now I have accepted it, moved on, and much happier and very very calm and at peace with myself. I am a living testimony. And a big shout out to my family and friends!!
By His stripes we are healed indeed! Isn't he faithful😢😢😢! I also had a stroke at the age of 12. It was from all the stress I was experiencing due to a traumatic event that was happening in my family at the time! My left side was paralysed and left eye closed. I just want to cry thinking about it😢😢😢😢. I have made a full recovery even though my left eye has poor vision and my left hand is still weak.
I am so happy for you. I pray for continuing healing and restoration. Love and light to you sibling❤❤❤. Sister from Melbourne🇦🇺.
His glory is for over Amen we get motivated when we here testimonies, we dobt know what life holds for us ❤
Wow man... Thank God and your ancestors for your life... 🙏🏾
We thank God for saving you and keeping you alive. Just as a side note, were you unprotected (unvaccinated) when you had covid?
Thanks for sharing
Lira probably doesn't know it yet, but God has an even deeper purpose with her through this stroke. A purpose that'll make a Grammy look like preschool. With her songs she touched body and mind. But with this, she is touching the depths of our spirits. 😭❤❤❤❤
Can't wait to hear the music she'll make after this yhooo
I agree I also thought this was a spiritual journey.
My Thoughts too
Yes, it is a spiritual journey...
Lira needs to now Listen to the voice of God and live her purpose...All the best Lira
This is so true!!!
Relebogile is such a kind, patience and gracious host. You helped when needed and sat back and listened when needed. Both as a interview host and friend, she's lucky to have you. And Lira, we're so proud of you! You've shown so much strength, determination and such a fighting spirit, its beautiful to see. I pray God strengthens you in the journey ahead and thank you for being brave enough to share your story.
So happy you've mentioned this. Relebogile is the best interviewer 👌 🙌🙌she takes kindly consideration of someone's feelings.❤❤
Lira love you girl. I pray for you. God bless you. God is good.. Amen.
💕 🙏 ❤️
Happy with the progress you've made, love you babes ❤

Definitely!! tickets will sell in a week!!!! 😊..
Amen😢❤
Amen
Hello, dumelang! My name is Tefo all the way in Botswana. I must say that I really cried upon watching this interview, simply because of I’m super grateful for Miss Lira’s life and journey to recovery. In May 2019 I lost my mother due to a stroke supposedly caused by high blood pressure spiraling up and thus triggering her blood sugar levels. My mother was awake one morning helping my little brother for school and preparing herself for work but was certified no more by the doctors at around 1700hrs 17-05-2019. They had just celebrated my father’s birthday on the 05 May 2019 and my little brother’s birthday on the 11th-May 2019. The most painful part is that none of us was able to bid her farewell everything just happened so fast in one day, mind you I was away training for one of the armed forces here. I still till this very day wish and pray that had she at least suffered this type of stroke like Miss Lira’s (not to belittle or disrespect nor discredit her condition) but just so that I could still have her here alive with us because I swear life hasn’t been as easy at all. It hurts it gets hard and there’s nothing we can do about it other than just try and get by as a family. Thank you to the both of y’all for this interview May the Lord continue to bless y’all and guide you through this life.
Sincerest condolences to you and your family @aubreytoboka3599.
It sounds like a journey that one cannot comprehend when in one moment everything is okay and the next things are turned upside-down. I am so sorry and do trust that you’ll find healing.
Condolences to you and your family, may God give you strength. It hurts 🥺❤️
Dumela Tefo, I am so so for your loss.
Lost mom in 2017 too and it's a pain that never goes away.😢
Sending you ❤
Sorry for your loss Tefo. May she rest in peace🙏🏼
I had a stroke at the age of 12!! My left side was paralysed and my left eye closed! It was a very stressful and traumatic experience! I have fully recovered, even though my left eye and hand are weak. I had to learn to write with my right hand! God has been amazing.Through those wonderful, experienced doctors, He gave me my life back! Many know Him as many other things, but to me He is a healer! Today I use the talent He gave me, to help bring healing to others for His purpose. I pray for His wisdom and acknowledge that I use my hands and learned knowledge, BUT ultimately, he brings healing to every person. 🙏🙏
Hallelujah amen
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Who is chopping onions? You're doing great Lira, wishing you a full recovery! You are loved.❤
Thank you for sharing this with us. I had an Aphasia stroke when I was in medical school doing my 4th year. I have overcome because of constant talking even though I don't like talking. The impediment comes back every now and then and people don't understand when I run out of vocabulary. I'm working, continued my studies, I'm 10 years in the medical field post the stroke. I thank God for saving me.
Lira is such a positive person ❤. Such a healthy mind. Love how Relebogile handled this interview, so gentle and caring.
God is a miraculous God. All it takes is faith
Lira is such a tenacious Warrior , her ability to stand when standing is not possible is such a marvel💃🏿💃🏿
To God be the glory 🙌
Aus' Relebogile, this interview took me back to your show; Unpacked. You are born for these conversations, for helping people to speak truth to their encounters with God. This is remarkable.
Yes she is ❤❤❤
Sobbing throughout this interview, we thank God for Lira's life and the progress she has made. Thank you Relebogile as well for such care.
Amen!
I love how Relebogile always conducts her interviews 😭 she’s definitely what Oprah is to me🥺❤️
O was not as of good listener as Relebogile, she is too good , never interrupts her guests and genuinely care, other than O
Oprah is illuminate
It's the calm and peace washing over her for me. As South Africans we are all so proud and grateful for your healing. We love you Lira🥰
She's doing so well I'm proud of you Lira
Wow.. it only takes God🙏🏾
I went through the similar experience around the same time as Lira. In addition to her condition I also lost my ability of movement. I couldn’t walk, had to be be taught to talk, read, write and walk. As she, I am grateful for life after a couple of months i could do those things again. It's a journey, everyday is a victory that I'm getting back to who i was. Finally, gone back to work after a whole year of not working.
Godspeed to you Ausi Lerato, keep drawing strength from God and loved ones. All I said when i was getting better was it took the army of heaven to get me back here. The love and support i got just encouraged me to fight more. It's not easy but it's worth every step i take to getting back to me. What a reset and relearning this has been.
Thank you Relebogile for giving us these reminders that life happens when you least expect it. Love, light and strength to you Aus Lira❤
@palisakey6803 Keep the faith and drawing strength from God. Believe with all your heart, she's healed, what is left is scars of what was. It's part of the process of healing. God bless you and your mom. Godspeed 🙏🏾🥰
May you be healed in Jesus name
God is beautiful! Wishing Lira everything of the best!❤
God is good all times
“I am a child born of love…” We absolutely love you! You’re in our hearts and prayers dear Lerato xx
"The calm and peace has been with me ever since "Lira
"The part of the brain, that I use to sing has never been affected". Lira just proved that we all have a beautiful song inside of all of us. We do not need to be taught, its inborn.
ubungoma
Thank God that she can still sing. I understand that part of her language center is damaged, but the brain does have an ability to renetwork. It's called neuroplasticity. Already, the results are promising.
@@NanaN495 what do you mean?
@@nkadimashianeso true
If she hasn't aready, she should look into stem cell therapy in an attempt to revive some of the damage. An injection full of stem cells will be injected through her spinal cord, and it will travel all the way to the damaged area of the brain and start repairing.
Just a quick lesson. If your loved ones ever suffer from an ischemic stroke (blood clot), their recovery will be like 5 times better if they receive treatment within 3 hours after the stroke. They are to receive a type of medicine called thrombolytic (a “clot-busting” drug) to break up blood clots so that blood can continue to reach the parts of the brain it was blocked from before the cells permanently die.
This is what happened to Lira. Had she gotten this treatment, she would have retained most of her linguistic abilities. The delay came with such consequences, but recovery is still possible, although much, much harder. We only know what we know. Thus, knowledge is power. Wishing her more progress ❤️. Im not a doctor, but I recommend supplementation with vitamin D3 5000iu + Vitamin K2 100mcg daily for prevention or after the fact. Do your own research. Chow.
Lord we pray for Lira for her complete healing, we need to hear that voice again serenading us. If it takes her singing for you, heal her completely and only you can do it. In the might name of Jesus we pray 🤲
In Jesus name amen
I lost my mom to stroke last year, to see Lira come out of it warms my heart. Your story is inspiring Lira. Praying for complete recovery.
Amen 🙏
Had a mini stroke ( medically known as T. I. A) in March 2019, lucky it didn't progressed into a full blown stroke, completely fine now, thank the Lord for that as I saw what a full blown stroke did to my mom, right side is somewhat impaired but her speech returned 100%,all through God's grace 🙏🏽🙏🏽
God Bless You 🙏
Power of emotions, Lira discloses all she had was her crying to ask for help. Emotions help us communicate
Lira we thank GOD for your life.
Pray for this woman guys.. Please... She needs our prayers more than ever. We love you Lira. Well done Relebogile for carrying this interview so well. Well done lira for the improvement on ur speech.. You are doing ell mama. We love you so much and we prise God for you.
Lira doesn't age. She's so beautiful. Oh! Man, this was such a heartwarming interview, I'm glad to see her doing so well after such an ordeal. I wish her great health and a beautiful life.
Our Brandy🤗🤌
Can’t help but chop onions. I’m inspired by Lerato‘s strength and her peace. God is really great
This made me cry😢. Praying for Lira's recovery ❤
Few seconds in and I'm just glad Lira can speak 😭😭😭thank you Jesus
I'm crying. God is amazing. Lira is beautiful, you will be fine Lira thank you. Thanks Relebogile for a great warming interview
Shuuuu... this interview left me in tears, particularly at the very end where Rele said, "I'm so glad that you are alive"😭. God's mighty hand has clearly never loosened it's grip on Lira❤. What an incredible testimony of strength, support and the overall power of surrendering to the things we can't control. I am so thankful that I watched this.
I can just imagine how hard it was for Lira😢. For someone who uses their voice as the tool of their trade and to suddenly have that along with the basics of speaking, reading and writing that we can take for granted be taken away. Such bravery where hope could've felt out of reach. May the good Lord continue to guide you and show you who and what He intends for you in this period of your life ❤
I appreciate Miss Lira so much, she's literally raised me. MOTHERRRRRR.
I admire Lira's strength and may God continue to give her total healing
This is so inspiring. I had a similar experience, but an autoimmune kidney disease. When I got diagnosed at George Mukhari hospital, I was just like "okay so just need to take meds and I'll be fine right!" and that doctor explained that yes I'd take meds and ill be fine, but it's for a lifetime. Took a while to accept my new reality but I'm okay now. I recently graduated with my second degree, not everything is perfect but I'm living an answered prayer and I'm managing my condition. In retrospect, sometimes in the me moment you feel terrible but actually, it's not the worst thing to happen to you and smile a little, you're not carrying the world's problems.
This lady has always been a gem, the humility in her is what you meet before you meet the person in her, she's beyond amazing , I've met her a few times and she is consistently a loving and kind human being
That first caller got me to tears. So sincere.
You can see she's got alot she wants to share with us but the condition doesn't allow her 😢..May God bless her voice
As someone who has been living with epilepsy for 28 years, I understand to an extent what she means. The confusion both before and after the seizure is scary. Sometimes I will wake up and not even know I had a seizure if someone tells me. I am praying for this sister and wish her well in her recovery. It takes time but I am hopeful that she will come out stronger.
I met Lira a a month or two ago at event in cape Town. She is a beautiful soul. We didn't know at the time about her stroke. May God bless her beautiful soul. Her entourage was amazing and made us feel at home.
"Something inside so strong"❤❤ Love you Lira❤. Thanks, Relebogile for such a beautiful interview.
This so sad😢, today morning I woke up missing her wonderful voice, so I was streaming her songs then I saw a video saying "Lira sings the first time after she got stroke" my heart was torn but I am greatful for your life and the progress you have accomplished so far be blessed we miss your angelic voice 😢❤❤❤❤
Congrats to Lira. I met the same situation whilst I was writing my thesis and my book 11years ago. I am working on my speech recovery. I finished my research thesis and graduated for my PhD. Dr Themba Msukwini ❤.
Congratulations, my dear 🎉❤
Akahlulwa lutho uJehovah. Thank you for sharing your story and being so open about your journey Lira, bless your heart. What a beautiful testimony
Wow,she can sing since she had the stroke, guys i don't know if its God, a miracle or science, but the fact that she couldn't talk but could still sing. I need to do more research on this. My mum had a stroke although it wasn't that severe & she was semi paralised for a few months then made a full recovery🙌🏾
It can only be God dear
Lira's story is definitely one can call a miracle🥺
she has been my favourite for the longest, her music has lifted me up from those dark moments. I never knew about her stroke. Lets Thank God for healing... I cant wait for the Grammy
Lira thank you for your good music. It was God who preserved your life. Through God's grace you are alive. Thank God
I feel inspired.
Relebogile - I’m inlove with how you handled this interview. I see you!
Lira - God speed. You are a treasure and we are rooting for you. Thank you for your bravery and heart. We’ll see you on stage soon xx
Sis Relebogile is soo patient and considerate. I love her🥺
I am listening/ watching the interview only now. On about minute 18:30s when Lira says "time, don't have that time...." her facial expression is so pure and made me realize that I do not have time to take anything for granted. I am going to enjoy every moment for what it is. I thank God for sparing you, maybe it was to help me realize to use my time wisely.
Ooohw Relebohile you did justice to this interview. The patience you gave Lira as she talks …
We thank God for Lira and really wishing her that Grammy hey… 😊😊
What I took from this interview 😊
“ rest mfethu “ our bodies work n carry us so hard it’s okay to just zone off Danko
Am happy Lira is recovering but I feel so sorry for her eish. She is so strong and such a good fighter she is speedy recovering. My eyes are tearing. ❤❤❤Lots of love Girl
This sounds like such a tragic thing to go through😢 God has given Lira a second chance at life, wishing her a full recovery!❤
I Shouldn't be crying cause I am at work😢, but my God it is so emotional watching this interview without shedding a tear. Speedy recovery to Lira.
I simply love this global icon of ours, I truly bless God for you Lira
She says it was the first time in 3 and a half years she had traveled overseas. Which means this was the first time she traveled after the lockdown period. Keep in mind that if you're from SA you must be vaccinated to enter European countries. She is young, eats healthy, exercises but suffered a stroke overseas. We thank God she's alive because some did not survive what she went through.
I don't think the part about having to be vaccinated to enter European countries if you're South African is entirely true, or maybe I am ignorant?
I didn't watch the full interview. What was the cause of the stroke?
@@NtombiBam-pj4rlA stroke happens when blood cannot get to your brain, because of a blocked or burst artery. As a result, your brain cells die due to a lack of oxygen and nutrients.
@@nondumisomthembu2688 South Africans travelling to Europe had to vaccinate.
True. I know of two super healthy people stroke after vaccination. It definitely was the covid vaccine.
I'm sooo happy she has recovered ♥️
I am crying and crying you are just such a great person. We love you Lira.
I'm literally sobbing watching this show, I'm also a Stroke survivor, fully recovered but I sometimes struggle with my speech more especially when I'm under pressure. I wish Lira a speedy recovery, we are serving God of restoration 🙏
Relebogile is such a great interviewer 🎉🎉
7 minutes in and Iam getting emotional. God is amazing, we thank him for bringing Lira back to our lives ❤❤❤
I'm so happy I got to listen to this, I love Lira, I learned the word pescatarian from her in a True love Magazine story. We Thank God who has given you the gift of life❤
Relebogile is a compassionate interviewer 💚💚💚
May God continue to heal you aus Lerato💚
Simple things some of us often take for granted.... Speaking, reading..... God is Faithful Forever in His Son's Mighty name Jesus Christ of Nazareth 🙌🏾 🙏🏾 ❤️ 💎 😇
Very true sesi we take these things for granted. But praise be to God for all these things and more love for Lira❤
Something inside so strong 💪
Oh man, I hope she recovers fully. Seeing her lose words at the tip of her tongue while narrating her story breaks my heart😢.
I'm crying and happy at the same time to see Lira coming back. God has a plan for her and the Grammys is placed on hold. ❤
I can't begin to fathom how terrifying it is to be in a foreign country, have a stroke, not only lose the only language you have to communicate with but also have to deal with people who don't know how to talk to you n vice versa. Magnified by the fact that you don't know what's wrong with you or even how to say something's amiss. That's would be a dark nightmare 😢
I've always admired Miss Lira I'm so happy she's found her voice again. It could've been worse but I'm glad it wasn't.
Lebo is such an excellent host, omw. Her accommodative nature is inspiring man. & I'm so proud of Lira for fighting to get back to normal, she is doing her very best!
May the Lord Heal you Lira ❤ love sisi. We kove you dearly God will show up in your life like never before.
Lira is such a wholesome human being ❤
I met her in 2011 after a concert to celebrate Mam Miriam Makeba's music. It was a collabo between Bra Hugh, Vusi Mahlasela, Thandiswa Mazwai and Lira. After the show I met them all, and Lira was by far the most hospitable; warm, humble and accommodating, she really exuded Mam Miriam's spirit (who I met twice). Ausi Lira, you are a credit to God, your parents, yourself, and your country. Lurve you and wishing you a speedy recovery.
I am so happy that Lira is doing so well. It is a miracle that she can still smile,talk and be a bean of hope after her unfortunate ordeal. May God continue to strengthen her and heal her completely in Jesus name. We love you sis Lerato ❤
Relebogile is such a patient interviewer😢lovely lady and a beautiful soul.
God is good Lira. It's heart warming to hear your story and learn of the progress you made. May you continue to get better and better. Your story is encouraging 🙏.My career background is stroke and neuro rehab. Thank you Relebogile for your program. Theodora
Looks like a remarkable progress is being made in recovery. Hope she gets even better.
Lira has had my heart since my high school days in 2006. Seeing her being speak her story has given me reason to forever appreciate her. Thank you for the wonderful time to you queens.
Lebo you did an amazing job interviewing Lira. Lira your are such an inspiration.
Being healthy means nothing.. My father was healthy eating no sugar and excersing. He was the healthiest out of all our family but he woke up one day vomitted and passed away. Still today we don't what happened. Seeing what Lira has gone through, proved to me that being healthy means nothing. If life wants to drag you through the mud, that's it there is no stopping it. Glad Lira is doing better ❤
She is a Hero in my eyes, her strength, her ability to laugh so genuinely and not allow shame to cover her. I'm amazed by her ability and strength.
Girl God is great. I love ur positive energy. U are amazing. Gods time is the greatest. Lebo u a amazing and stay blessed girls
As someone that has been struggling with cognitive impairment due to depression, I can relate to what Lira is going through...My love and prayers to her💕
Tomorrow is mysterious... God is love and still on the Throne. I see God's mercy and this is a great testimony ❤
She’s sooo amazing 🥺♥️♥️ We love you Lira✨♥️♥️🥰
Relebogile sis, you’re just as amazing too♥️🥰🥰We love this♥️♥️🤗
What an amazing testimony of courage and perseverance. To God be the Glory forever!🎉
This was traumatic for Lira 😢,l thank God ,he is faithful,healing is her portion in the name of Jesus❤
She looks like Brandy Norwood. I love her❤
Thought so too!
My sister went through this 2022 end of Jan...i was there for her until she gained her speech back and til now she is still trying...sending love to you❤❤❤
Wow what a beautiful interview…and what a Queen Lira is and we thank God for her recovery🥹🙌🏿❤️
Ohhhh my word what a beautiful woman, heroine of our times, right now we are so so privileged to be in the same existence with this Queen. Lira is coming back and coming back with even much stronger power, do you guys imagine her first “One woman show” the whole world will want to be there❤❤. We will be packed, patient, privileged and it will be a moment for the rest of our lives, we will cry, laugh, dance and pour our hearts out in celebration of this woman’s life.
She is coming back stronger watch the space ❤❤❤❤❤ We are in constant prayer and Rele you know and understand your girl’s current situation so much mama, you held her down, respected her, assisted her and made her so so comfortable, you are too special in this life ❤❤❤
Ohh Lira indeed God is good. Happy to see u my sister more so that u can talk. We thank God, we give all the glory to Him🙏
We bless God for Lira's life and continuing recovery🥹❤️
Also, Lebo is so graceful. God bless her ❤
Oh, my heart💔. Can't hold back the tears. Thank God for saving Lira's life and wishing her a full recovery. Grew up listening to your music and having met you personally, I'm sending you all my love.
I am still crushing on her. Love you Lira. She is still intelligent.
Her response to the upside of the stroke? Yoh I cried when she said “LIFE” 😭❤️ we thank God for this amazing recovery journey ❤️
