Bonginkosi “Zola” Dlamini is back after escaping death.

The musician spoke to ZiMoja about his ailment, and how he was in the hospital for weeks.

However, all of these didn’t put him down as he is back making music, especially working on a new project.

“I am working on a new album which I hope to will be released on 24 April, but nothing is yet finalised. I have a lot of new music and it’s only a matter of time.”

The music icon spoke about his health and how he was in coma for weeks.

“I could say that I rose from the dead. I almost didn’t make it. I almost kicked the bucket. But the medication is treating me well. I’m trying to eat right. I take 200 mg of medication in the morning and in the evening, so it’s heavy. According to the doctors, I will be doing this for the rest of my life,” he says.

“I was in a coma for five weeks due to epilepsy. I was not on any ventilators or anything, I was breathing by myself. I also learned that epilepsy could hide in your body for a while and then show itself at a later stage, I think this was the case with me.”

He further revealed that he has added weight and he likes it.

“I’m not going back to weighing 42 kg. I gained a bit of weight; I like this body now.”
