Lira on the mend and shares joy of flying again

MULTI-award-winning singer and songwriter Lira is on the mend and was excited to share the latest achievement on her road to recovery.

In May, Lira suffered a stroke, which resulted in her loss of speech, while she was in Germany where she was scheduled to perform.

Lira took to Instagram to tell followers she had taken a flight again after seven months and was on a staycation in Gqeberha.

She posted a video of herself on a boat cruising down a canal in St Francis.

She captioned her video: “First time I have been on a plane in 7 months, and I chose to go to St Francis in Gqeberha, Port Elizabeth. Here I’m on the canal cruise – it’s truly beautiful. They have exquisite restaurants – the food there is quite awesome. #stfrancisbay #stfrancis”.

She also revealed to her fans and followers more about her condition when she shared it in a recent post. She confirmed she was diagnosed with Aphasia, a disorder caused by damage in a specific area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension. Aphasia leaves a person unable to communicate effectively. Many people have aphasia as a result of a stroke.

Followers were happy to see her making a full recovery.
