Former Bafana Bafana coach Ephraim Shakes Mashaba is battling severe health challenges, including prostate cancer and tuberculosis TB.
His daughter, Nonhlanhla Mashaba, recently made a public appeal for assistance with his rapidly piling medical bills. In addition to financial support, she appealed for in-kind donations, including medical supplies, groceries, hygiene products, a walker and home-care assistance.
Speaking to Sowetans sister publication TimesLIVE, Nonhlanhla said her father received his diagnosis three weeks ago at Helen Joseph Hospital after they realised he was no longer coping at home. She revealed that Mashaba 75 is currently managing both his TB treatment and a prostate cancer diagnosis.
