Israel Zulu has taken to his social media to release an official statement regarding his health.
This is coming after the star’s departure from the Mzansi Magic soapie, that left his legion of fans concerned about whether he was given the boot.
In his words, Israel stated that he left the show due to health problems.
In a statement he said he has been inundated with messages from his concerned fans and friends over reports of his illness and subsequent departure from the drama series.
He said he asked to be written off the show so that he can focus on his health.
“It is true that I have been diagnosed with a disease, which severely affected the functioning of my legs making difficult for me to walk properly and function well on set during the filming. It also makes it difficult for me to perform as an artist or throw in those Ghetto Professors dance moves that you know me for when invited to gigs. The growing demands of my job at Gomora made it difficult for me to give my all to the show due to this illness that effectively rendered me semi-crippled, he stated.
Isreal made it known that he was was diagnosed with Gangrene shorty after joining the show.
“I love Gomora as a show which I have been close to from its inception, more so that it set up in my hood Alexandra township. At the same time I am the kind of actor who when I do what I like I want to be able to go full force, give it my all,” he continued.
