Both victims were emerging Lekompo musicians and students at the University of Limpopo.<\/p>\n<h2>Kharishma&#8217;s family addresses the false statement<\/h2>\n<p class=\"align-left\">On Wednesday, 26 November 2025, K.P. Lekoloane issued a statement on Kharishma&#8217;s behalf. As reported by <i>Daily Sun<\/i>, Lekoloane claimed that he had been managing the Limpopo-born artist \u201cbehind the scenes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">In the statement titled \u201cKharishma\u2019s Healing Process Necessitates Absence From Work Throughout the Festive Season,\u201d Lekoloane notified fans and promoters that the Chokeslam artist would not fulfill any performance requests.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAfter receiving updates from the family, we are officially informing all our clients and prospective clients that no bookings will be taken throughout the festive season,\u201d part of the statement read.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">However, when approached for clarification by the <i>Daily Sun<\/i>, Kharishma\u2019s family refuted the statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">In a conversation with the publication, Kharishma\u2019s brother and family spokesperson, Nthekgeng Mogale, labeled the statement as false. He stressed that K.P. Lekoloane had not consulted with the family prior to issuing the statement, contrary to what he claimed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">Mogale mentioned that they requested Lekoloane to retract the statement, which he did without issue.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe statement is not true. We didn\u2019t give him any approval. He never ran it by the family. That\u2019s why I contacted him and told him to take it down,\u201d Nthekgeng told <i>Daily Sun<\/i>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">He noted that Kharishma is recovering positively but chose not to provide further details. In a previous interview with <i>City Press<\/i> on Sunday, 16 November 2025, he confirmed that the artist was in stable condition and recuperating in the hospital.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have moved from fighting for life to recovery. It was a bad accident, but we managed to secure life and do what needed to be done,&#8221; said Nthekgeng.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"article-image\"><figcaption class=\"article-image__caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-3543995278\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1458300956780583\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1458300956780583\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
