Last year, the star expressed his gratitude to God for healing him of brain cancer. This comes after Nomsa had shared on social media that Luzuko had been diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer.
“The doctors had given up on the possibility of him waking up from a coma … He spent seven weeks in ICU,” she said.
