Dr Madala Kunene is a name that commands respect in the world of African music. The South African musician has spent decades crafting a sound that blends traditional Zulu music with modern influences, earning him the nickname "the king of Zulu guitar."

Sadly, Dr. Kunene is currently facing a serious health crisis that are limiting his ability to perform and create more music. He was recently hospitalised and now requires ongoing medical treatment to get back to full health.

BackaBuddy, a crowd funding platform, has asked fans of his music to come together and support this living legend by contributing to his medical fund.

"Our dear Dr Madala Kunene is currently facing critical health issues which require urgent medical attention. His condition is severely limiting his ability to work and function properly. Although he has been discharged from the hospital, he requires ongoing and long-term treatment to improve his health. We can help him receive the care he needs to get back on his feet and continue sharing his gift with the world," said family spokesperson, Robert Trunz.

He added that by contributing to his medical fund, "we can help ensure that he receives the care he needs to recover and continue sharing his music with us all. Every little bit helps, and together we can make a difference for this living legend of African music."

Dr. Kunene?s contributions to African music cannot be overstated. He has released over a dozen albums and collaborated with artists from around the world. His music has been praised for its unique blend of traditional and contemporary elements and has earned him fans on every continent.

But beyond his accomplishments as a musician, Dr. Kunene is also a cultural ambassador for South Africa. He has shared his music and his message of peace and unity with audiences around the world, helping to bridge cultural divides and promote understanding.
