Tovey discharged from hospital, recovering well: family
Neil Tovey's family say they are thankful for all the support and prayers for the former Bafana Bafana captain.
The 54-year-old SAFA Technical Director was discharged yesterday from a hospital in Hillcrest, after suffering a heart attack earlier this month.
His brother, Mark, says he's made a miraculous recovery.
"We are really grateful that he pulled through and he is with us today resting at home. He's definitely going to be taking it easy for the next three to four weeks and doing some gradual walks around his house but that's about it. He will be getting lots of rest," he said.
Tovey had been training when he went into cardiac arrest. Last year, Tovey had also been hospitalised after suffering three consecutive heart attacks.
His brother Mark had been supporting him in hospital.
A HUGE thank you to my family, Drs and staff of Hillcrest Hospital for their tremendous love and care. And to ALL for their well wishes 😃😃 pic.twitter.com/EPvlhQJE0R
