Izeki , a colossus of a comedian together with Eric Mabedi, popularly known as Jakobo in two-man skit - Izeki and Jakobo – said he is recovering from a bout of tuberculosis. “I am recovering and hope Malawians will treat me with dignity other than wishing me dead,” said Izeki from his hospital bed in Ward 3 A. “My condition was bad two weeks ago but now am feeling much, much better. God is great,” said the comedian-turned- prophet a founder of the Ndirande-based Synagogue for Hope where he is popularly known as Prophet Z. “Doctors, nurses, relatives, well-wishers as well as those I used to entertain have been supportive and I thank God for them,” he said Nyanga.
