Weeks after she was diagnosed with invasive skin cancer and underwent surgery, Jojo Robinson shared an in-depth update on her health.

The Real Housewives of Durban star took to her Instagram page on 15 April 2026 to reveal that she is officially on the mend; however, she acknowledged that even though her surgeon managed to "remove it all for now," she understands that the cancer may return.

"But next time, I'll catch it sooner, and surgery won't be necessary (I hope)."

Jojo urged her followers to "get their skin checked," especially if they have anything on their skin which they're worried about, even recommending her dermatologist and surgeon for people who don't know where to start.

She further emphasised that skin cancer is more common than many people think, and that catching it as soon as possible is the deciding factor between a simple procedure and a life-altering battle.

"If the skin cancer is caught earlier, you are able to do much less invasive measures to get rid of it. The longer they are on you, the bigger and more invasive they become, so catching them early is best."

Her post was accompanied by photos from her walk with her husband, Calven, famously known as Boobear. It also featured a video of her back, showing her scars and bandages.

Ahead of the surgery, Jojo emphasised the emotional toll of having parts of her tattoos removed after years of investing in her famous body art. However, she maintained a brave perspective, noting that her life was far more valuable than the ink on her skin.
