South African hip-hop icon and entrepreneur Slikour, real name Siyabonga Metane, has opened up about a terrifying hit-and-run incident that left him hospitalised.
The mogul took to Instagram to share his experience, revealing that he was struck by a car while out for a run on Saturday, 22 February.
“While running today, I got hit and run by a car. I’m okay, thank God, but what traumatised me is when the nurse at the hospital told me how common hit-and-run patients are in South Africa,” he wrote.
Slikour expressed his shock at the frequency of such incidents, urging the community to remain vigilant during their daily jogs and walks.
In his heartfelt post, Slikour appealed to fellow fitness enthusiasts to prioritise their safety.
“I know there’s a community of us doing our jogs and walks. I’d like to appeal to you to please be vigilant. These perpetrators don’t care about you, your health goals, or whatever gets you up,” he said. Adding a touch of humour to his message, Slikour joked, “Also, I know if I was listening to Kendrick and not Drake on my pods, this wouldn’t have happened to me.”
Despite the traumatic experience, Slikour expressed gratitude that his situation wasn’t more severe. He shared his story to raise awareness and prevent others from enduring similar incidents.
“Seriously though, be safe out there. There are many families out there, and I’m only posting this because I’m grateful my situation wasn’t worse. I wouldn’t want anyone else experiencing it,” he concluded.
