Israel is said to be at home recovering from a major surgery he had two weeks ago at a Sandton hospital. ZAlebs reports that the media personality allegedly had to undergo amputation to remove the leg that was heavily affected by the gangrene.
Just last month, Zulu announced his exit from the fan favourite drama series, Gomora. The actor told fans that playing Don was becoming a rather impossible task as he was reliant on a wheelchair to move around when the gangrene pains would flare up.
Sunday World reports that since Israel was written out of Gomora with the intention to help him focus on his health, the actor has been rumoured to be returning to the show as early as next year once he has fully recovered.
