South African DJ, radio presenter and television personality Lamiez Holworthy-Morule has undergone emergency surgery after being rushed to hospital, prompting the entertainer to put several professional commitments on hold.
Her management confirmed the development on Sunday, August 9, reassuring fans and industry partners that although the situation required urgent medical attention, her condition is not life-threatening.
The exact nature of the medical emergency and the procedure has not been disclosed, with her representatives asking the public to respect her privacy while she focuses on recovering.
Lamiez Holworthy forced to cancel appearances
The unexpected hospitalisation has affected a number of Holworthy’s scheduled appearances. According to her management, she was unable to fulfil bookings on Sunday and Monday, August 10.
Her representatives apologised to event promoters, organisers, clients and business partners who were affected by the sudden change in plans.
Management said affected parties would be contacted directly and that postponed bookings would be rescheduled once Holworthy has recovered and received medical clearance to return to work.
The decision effectively places her busy entertainment schedule on pause as she concentrates on her health.
Fans concerned about the DJ
News of Holworthy’s hospitalisation quickly prompted concern among her fans and followers, particularly because the announcement came unexpectedly and without details about what led to the emergency procedure.
The entertainer has built a strong public profile through her work across radio, television and the live entertainment industry. Her demanding schedule regularly involves DJ performances, presenting and appearances at major events, making the sudden cancellation of several commitments particularly significant.
However, her management’s confirmation that her condition is not life-threatening has offered some reassurance to those who have been following the news.
Management asks for privacy
While fans have expressed concern and sent messages of support, Holworthy’s representatives have made it clear that they do not intend to disclose details of her medical condition at this stage.
The request for privacy comes as she takes time away from her professional responsibilities to recover.
Management has also appealed for prayers and understanding from fans, clients, promoters and other stakeholders.
No specific date has been announced for her return to work. Her team said revised dates for affected bookings would be communicated after she has been medically cleared.
For now, Holworthy is expected to remain focused on her recovery, with her professional commitments taking a back seat until she is ready to resume them.
The announcement has also highlighted the demanding nature of life in the entertainment industry, where public figures can have tightly packed schedules and multiple commitments. Despite those pressures, Holworthy’s management has indicated that her health and recovery are the immediate priority.
