Zoleka Mandela diagnosed with bone cancer after surviving breast cancer

According to TshisaLIVE, Zoleka's cancer returned in 2022 but attacked her bones this time. She said she had back pain for a while before her oncologist performed CT (computed tomography) and bone scans to see if she had cancer in any part of her body.

Sadly, she was diagnosed with bone metastasis. Zoleka revealed that, despite having defeated the deadly disease once before, she was still terrified after the diagnosis.

"From what she’s told me, cancer in the bones cannot be eradicated, nor can it be cured."
