Legendary musician Doc Shebeleza is making headlines after he asked fans and fellow celebrities for financial assistance for his second operation.

HEALTH WOES

The celebrated muso has been in and out of hospital of late. Earlier this year, the music legend was admitted to hospital after a health scare that happened on 2 June.
Against the reports, he confirmed the news to the media, “I’m in good hands. Doctors are still running some tests. I hope and trust I will be out sooner.” Six months later, Doc Shebeleza was admitted again.

However, against his admission, family spokesperson and manager Shakes Mavundla confirmed to the media that Doc Shebeleza was showing signs of recovery after an operation.

At the time, Shakes Mavundla revealed that the artist had been discharged from the ICU at a Johannesburg private hospital after going under the knife on Monday, 2 December.

“He’s doing well, and he’s in good spirits. He’s under the doctor’s observation and might be discharged soon. We as a family are in good spirits as well.”

KWAITO LEGEND DOC SHEBELEZA ASKS FOR DONATIONS

With his second surgery scheduled for 2 February, Doc Shebeleza has reportedly asked fans for financial assistance.

Speaking to the media, the Kwaito legend revealed that his second surgery, worth around R350 000, will be performed at a private hospital.

Doc Shebeleza, who has earned a fortune from his career, has disclosed that he has already raised and paid some of the money but is now struggling to settle the full amount.

He told the media, “I’ve paid some of the money, but now I’m short. I don’t have enough. It’s very difficult, and private hospitals are extremely expensive.”

Doc Shebeleza added, “I need help. I’ve spent years helping others; when someone is in need, they should be supported. I want people to hear this directly from me, not through rumours. I need help, and I’d truly appreciate the love and support from South Africans.”

The Kwaito star also thanked those who supported him during these challenging times.

After all, he joins a host of celebrities who have reportedly asked for donations to pay their medical bills despite making a fortune from their careers.
