he political nature of his work led to his arrest, where he spent three months in jail without trial.Despite these challenges, Michaels persevered, eventually transitioning to television, where he made his mark in shows like Zone 14, The Lab, Heartlines, and Rhythm City.In 2013, Michaels suffered a stroke while on a work trip to Cape Town.

He spent several months recovering at Groote Schuur Hospital, an experience that deeply impacted him.
