Zoleka Mandela says things aren’t looking good for her healthwise

Prayers and well wishes are flooding Zoleka Mandela’s comments section as she revealed on Instagram that she collapsed in her home on Saturday due to another tumour found in her brain. The news comes almost a week after Zoleka was discharged from the hospital.

Zoleka has always been open about her journey living with cancer, sharing both the good times and bad.

In her Instagram post, she wrote a lengthy update on her health: “20.05.2023. This is a very hard one for me. On Saturday morning, I collapsed at home due to another tumour found in my brain. Things are not looking good for me at all and it’s important for me to continue to be honest about my journey as I vowed I would for the betterment of the cancer community.”

She then asked for continued prayers, not only for her but more for those close to her.

“My Blings (My Riches: Zondwa, Lindo, Bambatha and Zwelabo), for my Queenship (Those who have been there every step of the way: Thatohatsi, Jenine, Sanele, Jabulani and Sisipho), as well as My Assistant Mom, Aus’ Lerato who has been good to me and good for me, and most importantly my children – the very best of me, my lifeline and anchor: (Zwelami, Zanyiwe, Zenzile and Zingce).”

She concluded, “As I rejoin you in prayer, for them all, I will pray for my comfort, peace acceptance. Thanking you all for your prayer, well wishes, hope, support and encouragement. ?? Peace. Passion. Positivity.”

Celebs and supporters did not hesitate to send love to the author.

Entrepreneur Jennifer Bala wrote, “Standing with you in prayer ZoZo ♥️ May God strengthen you, provide you peace and bring you supernatural healing.??. ‘And whatever you ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive.’ Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭22‬.”

Miss South Africa 2020 Shudufhadzo Musida said, “Praying for you ❤️.”

One supporter from Kenya wrote, “I always pray for those little kids. God, please do not take their mother away. I know miracles happen and I wish for one for Zoleka ❤️ .”
