According to him, he was diagnosed of Covid-19 first in July and then again in December 202.
The first time he contracted the virus, Zola took to social media to break the news and also advise people to get tested.
“Dear Friends, Family and Colleagues, please note my results for COVID-19 have come back positive.”
“I will be taking the necessary steps in keeping well and protecting others.”
“When it first hit me, I never thought that it could hit me…I was like ‘how’ and you spend the first few seconds crying,” Zola said. When he got diagnosed he said he had a moment of introspection where he had to go around telling his loved ones that he loves them and forgive those who have hurt him. “We are living in borrowed time, so you start to appreciate the little things.”
Zola said he managed to survive the first one, but the second diagnosis had him contemplating and trying to figure how he got to where he was. From his experience, Zola says the second wave was very painful and is scared at the possibility of a third wave. “I felt things I never felt, I thought it was something I ate as I was driving from North West, I felt pains and cramps.”
