Gomora star Israel Zulu seems to be doing very well now following reports that his right leg got amputated. The star was diagnosed with gangrene which is the death of skin tissue cells. He seems to be in high spirits and is even taking part in viral challenges.
The video was posted after he warned his Facebook followers to not engage with his Facebook account because he was hacked. The hackers posted pornographic material and he distanced himself from that.
He said it's the people who work for devil who are trying to ruin his reputation but they will not succeed at their quest.
Israel Zulu slammed reporters who revealed his life changing surgery where his right leg got amputated.
He said he was not ready to speak about this as it is a very private sensitive matter, “I don’t know who gave the people who wrote the story about me the right to. And I know that you guys work in newspapers and you write about famous people and can write what you want, but I wasn’t willing to speak about it and I’m still not willing to speak about it,” said to Daily Sun“I’m not ready to talk about it yet. I don’t want to lie,” he continued.
He had released a statement prior to these reports where he gave his fans more info on his diagnosis, "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 state
When he left the Mzansi Magic telenovela Gomora, he paid homage to the show and their team.
"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.
“I appreciate the show producers and fellow actors for their understanding and for carrying me until the end. I apologise to the multitudes of my fans for my exit and hope you continue to support the show, especially the young crop of actors who are really doing their best to make it exciting. I am currently receiving the best medical treatment, and I am in high spirits having passed what I believe to be the worst stage of my situation."
Several days passed and the star then became a victim of death hoaxes. His team said this is an annual occurrence and they always fail to move them.
“The rumor of the passing of GP-MaOrange remains that: rumor. They are an annual occurrence without fail. Israel is very much alive, recovering at home with family, and in high spirits. He will be celebrating his birthday on the 28th of December, and maybe those wishing him dead will for once have an opportunity to wish him long life then. He saw the rumor and just laughed it off,” reads the statement.
