Since then, Lira has been working hard to make sure she is ready for the stage once again.

The iconic South African singer has already been performing in smaller, more intimate gatherings, giving talks at conferences and has even landed a headliner slot at a music festival.

But there is no doubt that suffering from a stroke is a traumatising experience.
