Hundreds of them have taken to social media to send sweet “get well soon” messages to Leon, whose films have always made people laugh.
South Africans are still reeling from the passing of TV legend Derek Watts or lost his battle to cancer on Tuesday 22 August this week.
They appear to be a little extra sensitive upon hearing the news that famous comedian Leon Schuster is currently in hospital.
Rene Stokes, Leon’s close friend, revealed in an online post that the Mr Bones star is recovering from a back surgery in a Pretoria facility.
Stokes shared a video of Leon, who appears to be in good spirits, and expressed his support for the Springboks, South Africa’s national rugby team.
Leon, a South African comedian and prankster, has a thriving career as a comedian and prankster.
Millions of people laughed at his films. As the term “woke” gained popularity, Schuster faced being “cancelled” by society after being accused of profiting from blackface — something he later admitted regretting.
On June 19, 2020, South African streaming service Showmax decided to remove over six of his films from the platform, citing racial insensitivity.
