One of Sauti Sol's member Savara Mudigi may be forced to take time off performing for a while after undergoing a successful surgery on his leg at the Nairobi Women’s Hospital on the night of January 17, 2017, after suffering a fracture.

He suffered the wedge ankle fracture during a paintball challenge at Purdy Arms in Karen.

Savara has spoken out for the first time about the accident that saw him go under the knife.

On his Instagram page, the vocalist, producer, drummer, actor and DJ acknowledged that the accident has been an eye opening experience for him to appreciate the little things in life.

Savara also thanked fellow band mates (Willis Chimano, Polycarp Otieno and Bien Aime) and their fans for their support.

He wrote:

"Even though the year is young, I've gone through a short period that has shown me what can happen if you dare run away from God. I've been through an eye opening situation that has made me appreciate the little things that matter. I would love to thank all my fans for the support during this difficult time. The whole story is that I had an accident at the beginning of the year and didn't get a major injury and then in a small mishap this week I got my ankle injured and had to undergo a surgery. Let's not take for granted the moments that we treasure. To all the Sauti Sol and Savara fans let's stick together. This year will be filled with more blessings and you will be part of the journey. I need you and thank you for being present."
