Gospel star Hlengiwe Mhlaba has announced she will be taking a two-year break from music following a serious hip injury. The award-winning "Umhlekazi" singer suffered a freak fall just days before her scheduled performance at the Ungazibulali Awareness event last month.

Close sources said that Hlengiwe has decided to take a two year break from music in order to focus on her healing process.

It is said that the musician has been in hospital for three weeks and is unable to walk. She is dealing with a swollen ankle and painful back and is expected to undergo hip surgery.

Her fall was bad; she is still in hospital for an operation. This is not good for her, because she is old. Her situation is not looking good at the moment. She is going for a hip operation. I am not sure how long she will be expected to rest for the hips to heal.

"Hlengiwe fell and this affected her hips and now she needs urgently be operated. We cannot speculate what may have caused so much damaged but we suspect that falling was the reason that led to where she is now," the source said

It's not yet clear what caused Mhlaba's fall or the extent of her damage, but fans wish her a swift healing journey.

Due to the complexity of her condition, she was transferred from a private hospital to the Inkosi Albert Luthuli Public Hospital in Durban.

Hlengiwe's manager Thobile Ndlovu confirmed that she is currently admitted at Inkosi Albert Luthuli waiting to be operated and that she is not taking bookings until further notice. "We are delighted that she is doing well and everything is looking positive. We are pleading with her fans and the media to give her space as she is embarking on this healing journey," she said.
