"The Deputy Minister of Health Sibongiseni Dhlomo visited Dr Mvuyisi Mzukwa in hospital in Durban where he's recovering from multiple stab wounds. Dr Dhlomo was very touched but at the same time glad to find Dr Mzukwa recovering well and also commended him for his heroic action.

“Dr Dhlomo believes that if Dr Mzukwa waited a little longer, his condition could've deteriorated making it impossible to save his own life."
The circumstances surrounding the attack are not known at this stage.
