By A Correspondent- Lady Storm says she almost met her Maker on New Year’s Day after she suffered a severe alcohol-induced stomach bug.
The 26-year-old, who was struggling to walk in pain, was treated at a local clinic where she appeared to have lost some kilos.
Speaking to the state media, the mother of one who made a name for herself in one of Jah Prayzah’s videos as Eriza, blamed it on excess alcohol intake during the festive season.
“I almost died on New Year’s Day after bingeing with my husband and relatives during the festive season.
“I was so excited after meeting my relatives that we partied excessively and it did not end well for me,” she said.
The Swagga Band leader, who was spotted in a wheel-chair on the day she was admitted, said she was now fit.
“The situation was bad when I was admitted, ndaichaya zvisingaite nekuti nyonó yacho yanga yandibata rough.
“When I used the wheel-chair, I wanted to jump the queue contrary to claims that I could hardly walk.
“As I said earlier on, I had a running stomach and I didn’t want to soil myself by walking since the condition was bad.
“I’m glad that I have recovered and I don’t think I will taste alcohol again.
“For the greater part of the festive season, we hopped from pub to pub and ended up at Mashwede on New Year’s Eve where I downed whisky tots and ciders along with my husband Mukanya and other relatives,” she said.
Asked what was on her mind when she was admitted, Lady Storm said:
“Obviously I was thinking of my only daughter Chloe.
“I was just praying that the Maker gives more time to live and raise my child.
“I couldn’t imagine myself leaving my daughter to be raised by other people; it was just a harrowing experience to say the least.”
When further quizzed why she was bingeing irresponsibly, Lady Storm continued:
“Festive season is just time to merry-make and for ladies like us who work hard but end up being fleeced, we needed to refresh.
“I was just partying like anyone else but from today onwards, I don’t want to see booze; I don’t know when I will take alcohol again because I have learnt a lesson.”
