Is Shaka Hislop ok?

Not long after the health issue, Thomas came back to let know the viewers that Hislop was doing fine. He reportedly shared, “My mate, Shaka, not here, but as it stands, it's good news. He's conscious, he's talking, and I think he's a little embarrassed about it all. He's apologized profusely. Not a man who likes people to make a fuss of him.”

“Obviously far too early to make any sort of diagnosis, but the important thing is, that Shaka's conscious and we spoke to his family as well because you imagine seeing that happen live. We spoke to his wife and things are looking OK. Silly, Shaka,” he added.
