South African music producer Chymamusique has received an overwhelming show of support from fans who helped raise over R60 000 in less than 24 hours to cover his medical expenses.

Fans Answer the Call: R60K Raised Overnight
Following multiple surgeries, Chymamusique launched a BackABuddy crowdfunding campaign at the request of his loyal fans. The campaign, aimed at easing the financial burden of ongoing rehabilitation, physio and therapy, drew R60 000 in under a day, a testament to the love and respect he commands in the South African music scene.
“By popular demand, I was asked to open this BackABuddy campaign to reduce a bit of the load when it comes to medical bills,” said Chymamusique.
Despite having medical aid, the DJ explained that the initiative was created voluntarily to allow those who wanted to assist a chance to do so.

He confirmed via social media on 11 November 2026 that all upcoming performances have been cancelled while he focuses on healing. The accident occurred near Ysterberg Mountain on the N1, when two sedans collided head-on and caught fire, according to Limpopo transport spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene.

What Happened: The Tragic N1 Collision
In August 2026, Chymamusique and DJ Poizen (real name Calvin Masetla) were involved in a serious head-on collision. While Chymamusique survived, DJ Poizen sadly passed away. The music industry mourned his loss while rallying behind Chymamusique, whose long road to recovery has included extended hospital stays, ongoing rehabilitation, and now, community-led crowdfunding.
Why Fans Felt Compelled to Help
Many fans shared heartfelt messages of support on social media and the BackABuddy platform, describing the DJ as a humble, inspirational figure who has uplifted others through his music.
Fan Comments:
- “Sending love and light bro ❤️ If you can please help and donate to Chyma.” – @KidFonque
- “Such a genuine soul. If you have anything, please do donate.” – @Vuyo_grow
- “As an upcoming DJ, I look up to you, brother. Speedy recovery!” – Anonymous donor
Currently, the campaign has reached R72 168, which is 36% of its R200 000 goal.
Inside the BackABuddy Campaign
Organised under Chymamusique’s legal name, Collen Mmotla, the campaign’s purpose is to help him acquire:
- Medical tools and therapy equipment
- Medicine for pain and seizures
- Disability support items during recovery
Donors can contribute any amount, even R20 and many are covering platform fees as a sign of extra support. The transparent, grassroots nature of the campaign adds to its credibility.
The Bigger Picture: Artists and Medical Aid in SA
Chymamusique’s situation has sparked wider conversation about medical aid limitations for artists in South Africa. Even with coverage, many performers face steep co-payments and non-covered costs for essential surgeries and rehab.
This case also raises awareness about the value of community-backed crowdfunding during medical crises. Platforms like BackABuddy have been instrumental in bridging this gap for many South African creatives.
