The star has made headlines on various occasions over the past few years with fans worried about his wellbeing.
It started in March 2022 when controversial rapper and music executive Nota Baloyi took to his Twitter timeline saying Zola 7 was “not doing well, nor looking good” and many people had stopped checking on him.
Zola 7’s wife, popularly known as Siki Kunene, at the time spoke to TshisaLIVE, dismissing the report, saying Nota’s comments were misleading as he was fine.
“All those things he said are utter rubbish. He’s trying to create hype over nothing. The truth is Bonginkosi is fine. He’s got epilepsy. He is taking chronic medication for it,” she said.
But it did not take too long after that for Zola 7 to shoot up the trends list, with many flooding the timeline with concerns for his wellbeing, leading the veteran TV presenter and musician to take to Facebook and accept financial assistance by sharing his banking details.
“I’ve received hundreds of texts asking for my banking details. I see I’m trending on Twitter and plenty of people are offering financial assistance as gratitude. I’ve never expected anything in return for the help I’ve given people in need but this is truly humbling.”
