DJ Maphorisa had a near-death experience in February 2021, which caused shockwaves throughout the music business. On February 8, 2021, the renowned DJ was ambushed by gunmen as he and fellow artist Kabza De Small were traveling home. Maphorisa and his group were reportedly leaving a concert in Vosloorus when an Audi A4 with unknown assailants opened fire on their Mercedes bus, according to sources. Before approaching the bus and firing more bullets from the front, the suspects first fired gunfire from behind it. Both Maphorisa and Kabza De Small are in critical condition as a result of the attack.
They were transported right away to Union Hospital in Alberton, where the intensive care unit was their battleground for survival.
