Sipho Hadebe, who works as a security guard and has a large tumour
growing on his face for 12 years, was recently sacked from his job.
This is because his appearance was beginning to scare customers.
As reported by MailOnline, 39-year-old Hadebe, has been living with
the gradually expanding growth for 12 years.
The tumour has now got so large that he struggles to breathe.
Hadebe after running a test in the hospital was told by the doctors
that the tumour is putting pressure on his respiratory airway and that
within a year he would no longer be able to breathe.
Hadebe's local hospital had had him on a waiting list, which meant he
would have had to wait for seven years before he could have the
operation to remove the tumour – the only way he can get his job back.
He however, began to raise funds in a desperate attempt to relieve his
suffering. Strangers have currently donated more than £2,000, to help
him and he is set to undergo a private treatment that experts believe
will save his life.
A team of doctors at Lowveld Hospital, in Mpumalanga provice, South
Africa, have offered their services to ease the pressure on his lungs.
They will perform a seven-hour reconstructive surgery once all of the
funds – believed to be around the £3,000, are in place for his
rehabilitation.
