Robbie Malinga speaks about his health

Robbie Malinga decided to address matters his health. Over the past few months, there has been a lot of speculation. In an interview with Sowetan newspaper, he talked about this.

“I was scared for my kids, man. My kids are so spoilt; I make sure that I do everything for them. My wife as well, she’s still young to have her husband die…my fans. It was scary but I am a strong person, I am a believer,” Robbie said.

Life threatening disease

In what was described as a life threatening disease, Robbie said he was diagnosed in December.

“I had just come back from France and I was scared. You know how doctors are, they would scare you, ‘if you don’t do this or that’ and ‘let’s buy time’ those terms they use. So I asked, ‘why are we buying time, am I dying?” explains Robbie.

Robbie has anaemia and his body couldn’t pump blood anymore. He was aware of the public’s speculation on his health.

“It became a joke. People are mean out there. I had lost weight more than this and on social networks they were saying I’m the face of Bio-Slim. It was the funniest thing. I even laughed. People are mean. There are lots of kids on social networks, 16 or 17 year olds, and for them it’s a joke, and it’s not a joke. But kids will be kids.”

Robbie is feeling much better now. He is fully booked for performances till January 2019.
