Katlego Danke says she is grateful to be alive after beating COVID-19 twice. The ‘Gomora‘ actress took to Instagram to share a lengthy message on her birthday.
“This next chapter is all about taking flight. I woke up with a heart full of gratitude. There must be a reason God saw it fit that I celebrate one more year on this planet after two bouts with Covid,” she wrote.
The former ‘Generations’ star says she is blessed to still be healthy.
“To still be able to pursue my dreams and purpose with all I’ve been given. I am in awe of the Almighty. Thank you for another journey around the sun. And all the amazing humans who have touched my life in different ways.”

Be the best you can be
Katlego has been in a grateful mood all year. She encouraged her nearly 300,000 followers to embrace their uniqueness.
“I am one in 7.9 Billion. Just saying that reminds me of the enormity of the blessing of still being alive to fulfill my purpose on this earth and the responsibility to honour my unique self in the process. Unique doesn’t even begin to describe it,” she wrote on Instagram in October.
The actress also thanked Midday Joy’s Unathi for an inspiring post she shared.
“The beauty about it is that I live and breathe amongst originals- each one 1 in 7.9 Billion. Be the best you can be. Thank you @unathi.co for this beautiful reminder in your post.”
Katlego’s post made Unathi “so emotional”.
“We need you to be the best version you can be. We could have lost you years ago… BUT God said NO we still need you. Thank you for being you. We love you,” Unathi commented.
