Cape Town — South African comedy legend Leon Schuster is back home and recovering following a spell in hospital due to a back injury.
It was reported that Leon was recuperating from back surgery in a Pretoria hospital after he had undergone back surgery earlier in August and recently returned to the hospital. Some South African were only made 0aware of the actor’s hospital stay when he gave a message to fans of the South African rugby team before their game against New Zealand’s All Blacks, TimesLIVE said.
Leon took to his Facebook page to tell fans he was discharged and that he’s recovering at home and was thankful for all the support he’s received.
“Just want to say thank you again for your heartfelt support! I’ve been discharged and back home after three weeks! What a blissful feeling! My new ‘song’ the bokmasjien runs well and please let me know if you have listened. When I hear him I just want to jump up and dance but then I break my back, my knees, my ankles and all kinds of stuff like my feet. So I’m lying and waiting impatiently for 8 weeks to pass before I can hopefully do a stint with Michal Jackson. In the meantime, I wish you the Lord’s blessing and prosperity! And Thank you, a thousand times THANK YOU!!”
