Star on the road t0 recovery

ACTOR Mlamli Mangcala is back home and grateful to have survived the coronavirus.

Mangcala, known for his role as Captain Sthembiso Radebe on Mzansi Magic’s popular television show, The Queen, spent several weeks in hospital, including four days in ICU after testing positive for Covid-19.

Although he lost more than

20kg, Mangcala is well on his way to full a recovery.

Taking to his Facebook on Saturday, he shared snaps of himself surrounded by family members. His caption read: “Home sweet home, no place like home”.

Mangcala was diagnosed with the coronavirus last month.

In a video poted on his

Instagram page, the actor was seen with the oxygen mask and a towel wrapped around his head.

The star, who was clearly battling to breathe, was heard saying he just had finished doing his breathing exercises but he was feeling cold.

He also explained that changing his sleeping positions helped him sleep and breathe better.

“The fight goes on,” said Mangcala, at the time.

He has since been vocal on social media, urging people to take the virus seriously and also to take all the health precautions to curb the spread.

He also expressed his gratitude to a good friend, Sibusiso Mahlangeni, who supported him during the challenging times.

Taking to social media, the star penned a heart-warming tribute to his friend, “My appreciation goes to Sibusiso Mahlangeni who selflessly took time out and supported me during my Covid-19 fight.

“I had a video call with Namhla Matandabuzo while in hospital and immediately after that Sbu sent me a WhatsApp message, “Bra uziva njani ngoku?” (How is bra feeling now?). I shared my experience with him… the following day I received a plastic full of tracksuits, vests, toiletries and fruit.”
