Recovering Winnie Khumalo performs for president Robert Mugabe

Musician Winnie Khumalo underwent surgery to remove an abscess that developed in her buttocks.

Despite still being in recovery, she made time to perform for Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe.

The star performed alongside Uhuru at the Youth Presidential Interface Rally in Bulawayo.

“I didn’t get to speak to him because security was so tight at the stadium where we were performing but Zimbabwe loved us so much that they demand we performed at a club after. It was packed!” she said.

“I wear my undies. Zodwa doesn’t and that is how she brands herself. I brand myself in my own way,” she said, joking about Zodwa Wabantu’s situation.

“I am not 100 percent healed, I am 90 percent healed because I still have to go to theatre in May, but I am okay. I was walking fine in Zimbabwe and there was no problem. It only affects me when I am cold. I still have stitches that need to be removed but I am focusing on my recovery,” she said.
