According to Sunday World, Ma Shange revealed that in 2018, her health took a turn for the worse and landed her in hospital for months.

It was there that doctors informed her that they needed to amputate her leg, to which she had to think on her feet - literally:

"I lied and told them I had signed a contract that I could not breach, and if I were to breach it, I would have to pay R5 Million."

Thankfully, doctors took her word for it and administered antibiotics before the actress underwent four operations that ultimately saved her leg but cost her five toes in the process.
