Leon Schuster, the legendary comedian and filmmaker, has returned home and is recovering from a back injury.
According to Huisgenoot, Leon was recuperating from back surgery in a Pretoria hospital. The actor had undergone back surgery earlier in August and recently returned to the hospital.
Some South Africans were unaware of the actor’s hospitalization until he delivered a message to South African rugby fans before their match against New Zealand’s All Blacks.
On Tuesday, the comedian took to his Facebook page to announce his release and thank everyone for their support.
He wrote, “Just want to say thank you again for your heartfelt support! I’ve been discharged and back home after three weeks! What a blissful feeling! My new ‘song’ the Bokmasjien runs well and please let me know if you have listened. When I hear him I just want to jump up and dance but then I break my back, my knees, my ankles and all kinds of stuff like my feet. So I’m lying and waiting impatiently for 8 weeks to pass before I can hopefully do a stint with Michael Jackson. In the meantime, I wish you the Lord’s blessing and prosperity! And Thank you, a thousand times THANK YOU.”
According to reports, Leon injured his back while filming Mr Bones 3: Son of Bones. “I’m lying here in my hospital bed, but I feel good today because tonight this massive game is happening,”
Schuster said in a video that went viral on Afrikaans is Groot’s Facebook page. And I believe what the Boks really need to know is that you support them. Even if you disagree with everything Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber is doing. Forget about it; what matters now is winning.”
