Bone metastasis is said to be when cancer spreads to the bones. This according to her doctor, cannot be eradicated or cured.
Zoleka said she had been feeling a lot of pain in her body so she decided to go to the doctor but unfortunately received the sad news.
"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.
Zoleka is most worried about her children and how would she tell them that her cancer came back, "I don’t even have the words to articulate my thoughts and feelings, the words to describe how scared I am right now. What do I tell my children? How do I tell them that this time around, I may not get to live my life as a survivor? How do I tell them everything will be okay when it’s not? I’m dying … I don’t want to die," she wrote.
Mzansi has been keeping her in their prayers because the news is just too terrible. Zoleka endured so much in her life, all they ask is for her to catch a break, especially since she welcomed her newborn baby.
Father, we lift Zoleka Mandela before You, O God, in the knowledge that You’re able to do in excess of all our petitions, now, please meet her at the point of her respective medical needs. In Jesus mighty name!

I just saw Zoleka Mandela's post about her having bone metatsis (cancer) after fighting breast cancer for 10 years 🥺 We have to be thankful each day for good health, people are really going through the most behind closed doors. #bekind
