South African music producer Chymamusique has been discharged from hospital following a long recovery process after surviving a tragic car accident in Limpopo. The incident left him with serious injuries that required six surgeries and emergency brain treatment.
His team confirmed on 10 November 2026 that the award-winning DJ, whose real name is Collen Ntala Mmotla, is now recovering at home.
The Crash That Changed Everything
Chymamusique and fellow artist DJ Poizen were involved in a head-on collision on the N1 near Ysterberg Mountain, outside Polokwane, on 30 August 2026.
According to Tidimalo Chuene, spokesperson for the Limpopo Department of Transport and Community Safety:
“Two sedans collided head-on before catching fire.”
DJ Poizen sadly died in the crash. Chymamusique was critically injured and airlifted to hospital.

Multiple Injuries and Emergency Surgeries
Following the accident, Chymamusique sustained severe trauma, including:
- Multiple leg fractures
- Chin and jaw injuries
- Arm and muscle damage
- Brain swelling that led to seizures
In total, he underwent six major surgeries, including a craniotomy (brain surgery) performed after he suffered internal bleeding and a seizure in late October.
“He is healing, thanks for well wishes. All the six operations went well, two operations pending.”
Chymamusique Has Been Discharged and Is Recovering at Home
On 10 November, Chymamusique was officially discharged from the hospital. He shared a photo of the surgical scar on his head via Instagram Stories with the caption:
“Discharged, God will handle the rest.”
Despite the milestone, he is still expected to undergo two more surgeries, reportedly related to his knee and teeth.
Mental and Emotional Impact of the Trauma
In a deeply personal video posted online, Chymamusique reflected on the fragility of life. He stated:
“If your life is hard, enjoy it. If your life is good, enjoy it… Look at this; half of my head is gone.”

Calls to Address Road Safety in Limpopo
The fatal accident has sparked renewed discussion around road safety on the N1 highway, one of South Africa’s busiest national roads.
According to the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC), over 12,000 people died on South African roads in 2026, with Limpopo among the provinces recording the highest fatality rates.
Road safety campaigns are urging improved visibility, better driver behaviour, and enforcement of speed limits on national routes.
Chymamusique’s Future Plans Remain Uncertain
While Chymamusique has expressed gratitude for surviving, he hinted at possible retirement or a long-term break from music.
In a recent video, he signed off with the word “Resignation”, though it’s unclear if this was meant literally or symbolically.
Fans remain hopeful for his full return once he’s physically and emotionally ready.
