“I Lost My Dad And Mom Was Attacked By Stroke”
Former Uzalo actor, Khaya Dladla, has been going through a difficult time with his family. On Wednesday, March 16, the media personality took the time to open up in a lengthy Instagram post in which he detailed the difficult journey he’s had to take since his mother became ill.
The House of Zwide actor revealed that his mother suffered a stroke last year, which took away her speech and mobility. According to the Gagasi FM radio host, his mother became ill on the same day his uncle died in March 2021.

“A lot of people don’t know much about my personal life… I lost my dad doing my final year in varsity and I was left with just this woman who gave me life. Last year this time I lost my uncle and on the same day my mom was attacked by a stroke that took her speech away and mobility (couldn’t talk or walk) and I was willing to do and pay any amount to see her regain her normal life again,” he wrote.
During that time, he claims he did not receive as much support from family and friends as he would have liked. “That’s when my real family and friends showed who they were because people will never care for you or your loved ones more than you…. I was left with about 5 people in my life who would ask how is she doing? What does she need? How can they help?”
Despite the difficulties of the journey, the actor thanked God for his support system. Khanyi, his sister, and Mfundo, his brother, have been by his mother’s side as she regains strength. He also thanked his mother’s nurse, Bonny Mweni, and all the therapists who helped her regain her ability to walk. The post also depicts his mother’s progress, as she is now able to walk.
“We still have a long way to go but it’s only the moving forward I’m interested in. God bless your hearts and hands for what you have done for my queen and one day I will be able to thank all of you properly,” he explained.
He also thanked all of his clients, saying that without them, he would not have been able to pay for his mother’s medical care.
