In the caption of his post, he shared that it was only by God’s grace that he is where he is today.
“Today I celebrate life 47 years of God’s grace. Four years ago, I was not sure that I would see another day but here I am standing. I am proof that only God decides about your life, not other people.
“Happy Birthday to me ngiyabonga baba. Hola 7,” he conluded.
In March last year, many of his most loyal and devoted supporters found themselves heartbroken to discover that the 47-year-old had been in a coma.
This comes after several health complications and doctors revealing that he had the body mass of a 12-year-old.
While promoting his documentary called uMdlwembe in an interview with radio broadcaster Metro FM he shared that it was only prayers that kept him alive.
“It is because of millions of prayers. People who called me came to my gate. People were leaving candles at my gate. I thought I’d get a second chance.
Sharing what it was like being in a coma, he added:
“You feel no pain even if you were to pinch me, I feel nothing. At the time, I was mostly having a conversation with my grandmother who died in 1994. Then she says ‘No, you need to go back,’” he explained.
