Zola 7 quits booze. Musician and TV personality Zola 7, real name Bonginkosi Dlamini, has quit drinking. This is according to sources close to him, who said he decided to quit the bottle for his health’s sake. He also wants to make a comeback into the music scene.

BATTLING BOOZE

The star’s relationship with alcohol wasn’t good, as he allegedly drank excessively. “His relationship with alcohol wasn’t good, because he over did it, so it’s good that he’s stopped altogether. He used to drink like a fish and this wasn’t good for him, especially with ill health,” a source said.

Zola 7 has been candid about his battle with epilepsy and according to another source, this is one of the reasons he decided to quit booze. Another source said: “His illness is a serious one and not long ago, he wasn’t well, so that’s part of the reason he decided to stop drinking alcohol. He realised that in the long run, alcohol would hurt his health.”

SHOWBIZ COMEBACK

With the recent release of his single Ghetto Fabulous, Zola is on a mission to return to music. “He’s determined to get back to the level he was in many years ago within the music business and drinking excessively will deprive him of that. He is so serious about reclaiming his place in showbiz so much so that he smoked the peace pipe with his former label boss Lance Stehr and he’s back at Ghetto Ruff,” said the source.
