What started as a typical weekend in Cape Town took a terrifying turn for well-known Good Hope FM radio host Khanya ‘Kyeezi’ Siyengo.
Known for his vibrant personality on the airwaves, Siyengo found himself at the center of a shocking car crash that has since sent waves through South Africa’s media community.
Collided at the Intersection
The accident happened when another driver reportedly ignored a red traffic light and slammed into Siyengo’s BMW 420i.
The crash was sudden and intense—but what made it worse was that the other driver didn’t stick around.
After causing the collision, he fled the scene, leaving behind chaos and confusion.
A Lucky Escape from a Serious Wreck
Despite the dramatic nature of the accident, Siyengo managed to walk away without major physical injuries. However, the emotional toll has been heavy.
He later shared how shaken he was by the ordeal, saying it’s been incredibly difficult to process everything that happened.
Who Was Behind the Wheel?
The man believed to be responsible for the crash has been identified as Michael Jamiu, a Nigerian national.
Authorities suspect he was under the influence of alcohol when he smashed his Mercedes Maybach into Siyengo’s car.
In a bizarre twist, Jamiu ran off after the crash—leaving behind his luxury car, passport, and other personal items at the scene.
Those items are now in the hands of the police.
“I’m Still Processing It All”
Kyeezi took to social media to open up about the emotional aftermath.
He expressed deep gratitude for escaping without physical harm, but admitted the experience left him emotionally rattled.
“I’m taking some time to process what happened,” he said.
“My family has been incredible, helping me through this.”
Photos of his badly damaged BMW have been circulating, offering a stark visual of just how lucky he was to survive.
Pressing Pause to Heal
In the wake of the accident, Siyengo offered heartfelt apologies to his clients, supporters, and partners for any missed events or obligations over the weekend.
His team has asked for understanding and privacy while he takes a step back to recover emotionally and mentally.
Police on the Case
Meanwhile, the investigation into the crash is moving forward.
Authorities are now looking for Jamiu, with the items he left behind expected to play a key role in tracking him down.
If found, he could be facing serious charges related to drunk driving and fleeing the scene of an accident.
A Wake-Up Call for Everyone
Kyeezi’s story is a powerful reminder of how quickly life can change—and how dangerous it is to drive under the influence.
The Cape Town media community has rallied behind him, flooding social media with supportive messages and well wishes.
