Prayers for Kenny Makweng

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP and kwaito legend Eugene Mthethwa and renowned poet Mzwakhe Mbuli were among those appealing to the nation for their prayers on social media.

“Good morning, fellow artists. We appeal for Prayers. Kenny is a ZCC Gospel singer. Last year, he obtained his BA Degree.

“He is currently in hospital with complications of the brain. He had a stroke. Prayers please, we serve the God of miracles & wonders,” Eugene Mthethwa wrote on X.

Taking to the comments section, a fan wrote: “May God be with him and the miracle of healing be released upon his life in Jesus’ name. Amen!

“This brother’s music kept me company during my tertiary days. I played his music using cassettes. Bought originals, I must boldly submit say.”

Another one said: “I know from experience that strokes are tough, but help from God and from good clinicians we can survive and thrive. I pray that works for him!”
