Cape Town – South African musician, Rethabile Khumalo, is currently battling for her life in hospital.
Rethabile’s mother, seasoned music mogul Winnie Khumalo, took to social media on Thursday to share the distressing news.
Winnie admitted that she initially intended to maintain privacy regarding her daughter’s health, but was compelled to address the public due to Rethabile’s deteriorating condition.
The post included several clips of Rethabile being escorted into an ambulance vehicle, lovingly holding her baby and laying unresponsive on a hospital bed.
“It has been six days now in hospital…So i decided its only fair to share with her supporters these sad news…They did 3 operations on her already we hoping that @rethabile_rsa will soon recover but at the moment akukho kuhle (nothing good)….She has been On and off…When you pray please include her in your prayers….Ubunzima bokuba umzali (the difficulty of being a parent),” wrote Winnie.

A day later, Winnie reposted the same clip, this time writing “Friends are your worst enemies”.
