Sizwe Dhlomo is recovering after fracturing his foot

Radio and TV personality Sizwe Dhlomo is recovering after an accident left him with a fractured foot.

Taking to social media, Sizwe explained that he had hurt his foot while running, and at first didn't pay much attention to it.

However, after having his foot examined by doctors, the foot had to be placed in a cast and he is on crutches.

"So, yesterday I went running and sprained my ankle. I figured it was no big deal until one of our listeners suggested that I get it checked out," Sizwe said.

The radio jock is grateful to the listener because had it not been for her, he would have been doing more damage.

"Thank goodness she did because it turns out that my foot is fractured! If it wasn't for Susan, I would have still been walking around, worsening the damage. Thanks Sue."
