According to the station, Mabasa had a tumour removed from his stomach and is being treated at the oncology unit of a Centurion Hospital.

Mabasa lives with his mom, dad and three younger siblings. Lungile says that he really enjoys soccer and music and his biggest dream is to become a music producer when he grows up like his idol Amapiano producer DJ Jazzy Q.

The Reach For A Dream foundation contacted Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels to help make Mabasa's dreams of being a producer come true.

During an interview with Martin Bester, which was live on Jacaranda FM, the radio DJ announced that the Good Morning Angels fund is gifting Mabasa with:
  • a keyboard
  • a laptop
  • a mic, and
  • other recording equipment.

This will enable him to start working on his dream of being an Amapiano music producer.

In a surprise turn of events, Bester revealed that he had another surprise for Mabasa before welcoming DJ Jazzy Q into the studio to meet his biggest fan.

"It makes me feel great to see the impact my music has had on a young child like Mabasa," DJ Jazzy Q told Martin Bester on air. "I love that I am able to inspire others to become something and do better in whatever they want to achieve in life. It's very overwhelming for me."

Bester says, "I loved taking hands with the Reach For A Dream Foundation on this Good Morning Angels initiative. Just because a child faces a life-changing prognosis doesn’t mean they need to stop dreaming."

"The foundation makes thousands of children's dreams come true a year and every time we get to assist and get the angels together, it's a very special privilege. This morning when Mabasa, an aspiring Amapiano producer, mentioned that he is a massive fan of DJ Jazzy Q and pointed him out as an idol, I had this amazing feeling knowing that Jazzy Q was in the studio right behind him."

"When he walked in, the look on Mabasa's face was absolutely priceless. A big thank you to DJ Jazzy Q for helping make Mabasa's dream come true. It was a huge privilege to be a part of it and it’s something I will never forget," Bester concludes.

In celebration of Reach For A Dream's upcoming Slipper Day on Friday, 5 May, Bester shared that the Good Morning Angels fund and the Jacaranda FM community supporting the fund will buy 1 000 Reach for a Dream Slipper Day stickers.

This equates to R20 000 towards making more dreams come true for children fighting life-threatening diseases.
