Shadrack was on his usual journey to work one morning around 05:00 when he was viciously mugged. The ruthless robbers shot him in the neck. Shadrack is no longer able to work as he has lost mobility. His wife and two children bear the trauma with him, reports ZALebs.

Gail took to her Instagram to use her large following to try and make a difference in the family's lives. The media personality wrote:

"Please meet our dear friend, Shadrack. Shadrack has worked for years in our complex. One of the kindest human beings I know.

Earlier this month, at around 5 am on his way to work, he was mugged and shot in the neck. Shad was discharged from the hospital yesterday…the doctors have said that he is now sadly a quadriplegic.

Shadrack left home walking on that fateful morning and went home yesterday in a wheelchair."
