'It is because of my sister, mother and grandmother that I am still alive and strong in my resolution to make sure that I give back to this community.'
Israel said it was because of his sister, mother and grandmother that he is where he is today.Seasoned actor Israel Matseke Zulu has taken to Instagram and opened up about his upbringing and his wish to inspire children in his hometown Alexandra, aka Gomora.“I grew up with my sis holding hands when going to school, eating from the same plate till I got arrested, in and out of prison, even after all that she never gave up on me till today, that's what keeps me strong.
“When I arrived there I was admitted and the same night my leg was cut [off] and the next morning I was free from pain until today. I’m very happy the pain is gone ... I even forget that my leg is cut. Sometimes I fall, my mind always says to me you are healed, you are fresh, my mind never accepted what happened.”
The 46-year-old said losing his leg had not affected his confidence. “My status, my craft will never be matched by anyone. I'm irreplaceable and irresistible. I'm like one of the icons, Nelson Mandela, Lebo Mathosa, Brenda Fassie, Mandoza.”
