A clip of rapper DA LES – real name Leslie Mampe – undergoing physiotherapy after his stroke last year has left many fans emotional.
The clip was posted by the South African Stroke Rehab Company.
In July 2024, Mampe suffered a stroke on his 39th birthday. According to reports, the hitmaker did not have medical aid and was struggling to pay for private healthcare.
DA LES PICTURED DURING REHAB SESSION
In a clip posted on its TikTok account, the Stroke Rehab Company shows a physiotherapist’s session with wheel-chair-bound Da LES.
The therapist massaged the rapper’s hands while casually joking with the star.
In the clip, the entertainer appeared to experience partial face parylisation, one of the effects of a stroke.

Eight months ago, Da LES’s family announced that he had suffered a health setback on his 38th birthday.
The incident took place at his Bryanston home, the venue of all his starstudded All White pool parties.
A few months later, loved ones shared an update that the muso was recovering and “taking things slowly.” “I owe it all to God,” Da LES expressed in the statement.
The father of two also thanked his fans for their love and support.
CELEBS WHO HAD STROKES
Da LES is one of many South African artists who have suffered from a stroke.
In 2022, music artists Lvovo Derango, Lira, and Mampintsha all suffered strokes. Sadly, Mampinthsa, the husband of Babes Wodumo, died from complications of cardiovascular disease.
A year earlier, jazz musician Sibongile Khumalo also died from complications of a stroke, as did Dorothy Masuka in 2019.
According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 10 South Africans suffer a stroke every hour.
