Former headlining comedian Gringo (real name Lazarus Boora) has departed for his rural home, The Herald reports. The comedian who was hospitalised a few months ago spoke to The Herald about his recovery and his reasons for leaving the city for Rukweza, his rural home.
Gringo said:
“I moved back to where I was born to rest and I believe the fresh air here has helped with my recovery. Life here is also affordable, you can grow your own food and what you need to buy is cheap.
“I believe urban areas are spaces you go to look for money when you fall sick its best to come back home to recuperate.
” We are a well-knit community that gets along well. I’m in good books with everyone even the village head that’s why it was easy to settle back in. Besides I used to visit my home area even before falling sick.
“My leaving urban areas does not spell my end. I can still work from here, maybe go to my shoots and return to Rukweza after.
“Thanks to technology, I’m in constant touch with friends and people I work with.
I had stopped work altogether when I moved here that I even suspended working on ‘Village Secrets’ a television series I was starring in”.
Gringo was last year admitted in hospital after his appendix ruptured. His family appealed for financial assistance to help pay his medical bills.
