Actor Charles “Chal” Munyongane was taken to hospital after he was attacked with a shovel by his neighbor during an argument on Saturday.
Neighbor Gabrielle Katsande is currently on the run, leaving Shali with a head injury and a broken leg.
Chal’s colleague, veteran actress Patience Moza, called on well-wishers to help pay his hospital bills and make donations for his treatment.
She said that a successful operation was performed on Shali’s head, and attention turned to his leg, which requires another operation.
“Gabriel attacked him with a shovel after he confronted him for allegedly beating a maid.
“Chal was trying to help his neighbor who was being assaulted. He was simply trying to do the right thing and he was hurt because of it.
“Gabriel hit him on the head several times causing him to suffer serious head injuries and a broken leg.
He added: “He was in a bad condition, but he seems to have become better after a successful operation on his head on Monday.
“We now need some money for surgery on his leg as well. Every donation, no matter how small, will help Shelley get the treatment he needs.
“Your support means the world to us and we cannot thank you enough. We still need some money for x-rays, surgery, food and medicine,” Moza said. H Metro
