Serious prayers, well wishes, and sincere words continue to flow in for Zoleka Mandela, the sick granddaughter of Nelson Mandela.
Zoleka shared her admission letter on Instagram and stated that she had been in the hospital since Saturday. The author was diagnosed with bone cancer last year and is still fighting the disease.
She said that she is currently undergoing radiation to her spine and pelvis, as well as chemotherapy.
“I’ve been admitted into hospital, been here since Saturday morning, and currently receiving Radiation to my spine together with my pelvis, and awaiting Chemotherapy, for the progression of the cancer in my body. It’s going to be a long haul, but so appreciative of the efforts made towards the betterment of my health, by the medical team and medical staff. I can’t wait to get back home to the kids! Peace. Passion. Positivity,” she wrote.

“It will probably sound strange but, I think I am blessed or fortunate enough to be in a position where I am in my planning stages. I am having conversations with my loved ones, lawyer, therapist, and siblings to discuss what happens on the day and after I pass away,” she said.
In 2022, Zoleka realized that her cancer had returned. In 2022, she turned to Instagram to make a heartbreaking message in which she said that she was hanging by a thread after an official CT scan revealed that she has cancer in both her liver and lungs.
“Yesterday (29.08.2022) marked my official diagnosis, the CT scan has revealed cancer both in my liver and lungs. I am yet to receive feedback regarding my Bone scan, to establish whether I have cancer beyond my ribs. I am hanging on by a thread.
She also thanked all who have been praying for her recovery. “Thank you all for your outpouring of love, prayer, and support. Peace. Passion. Positivity,” she wrote.
The shocking discovery was made after she consulted with her GP, who later diagnosed her with Bone metastasis – a condition in which cancer cells spread from their original site to the bone.
“I’ve had a sore back for more than a month now, and recently consulted with my GP when I could no longer tolerate the excruciating pain in my left rib. I went for an x-ray of my chest and rib a few days ago – I have a pathological fracture and swelling caused by cancer,” wrote Zoleka.
