In an interview on Point of View with Phemelo Motene on Kaya FM, the author revealed that she is preparing for her death. According to Zoleka, she has met with her family, a lawyer, and a therapist to discuss what life will be like for her children after her death.

"It will probably sound strange but, I think I am blessed or fortunate enough to be in a position where I am in my planning stages. I am having conversations with my loved ones, lawyer, therapist, and siblings to discuss what happens on the day and after I pass away," she says.

Tweeps inundated the tweet with well wishes and prayers for Zoleka
Zoleka took to Instagram in 2022 to pen an emotional post where she shared that she was hanging by a thread after the official CT scan showed that she has cancer both in her liver and lungs.

"Yesterday (29.08.2022) marked my official diagnosis, the CT scan has revealed cancer both in my liver and lungs. I am yet to receive feedback regarding my Bone scan, to establish whether I have cancer beyond my ribs. I am hanging on by a thread.

She also thanked all who have been praying for her recovery. "Thank you all for your outpouring of love, prayer, and support. Peace. Passion. Positivity," she wrote.

The diagnosis came after she decided to consult her GP, who diagnosed her with Bone metastasis -  a condition in which cancer cells spread from their original site to the bone.
 
 "I've had a sore back for more than a month now, and recently consulted with my GP when I could no longer tolerate the excruciating pain in my left rib. I went for an x-ray of my chest and rib a few days ago - I have a pathological fracture and swelling caused by cancer," wrote Zoleka.
