The boy had been on life support and in a coma last week.
The soccer coach of a 13-year-old boy who was hit with a brick on Guy Fawkes Day, shared his relief on Tuesday at him coming out of a coma and saying a few words.
The boy, whose name is known to News24, had been playing in a street in Heinz Park, Cape Town a week ago when a man came out of a yard and threw a brick at him, hitting him in the head, his mother said at the time. While the boy’s mom did not have a chance to speak on Tuesday, Heinz Park Football Club coach Quinton Abrahams shared his delight at seeing his talented player responsive during a recent visit.The boy was apparently very emotional when he saw all his friends and had to be calmed down after crying.“It was really a joyful moment… to hear him speak for the first time,” he said.
“He’s a real fighter. He was still very confused and drowsy, but he reacted to what was asked and said.” “It’s not easy, because I have to work and put bread on the table. Through God, I will survive,” his mother told News24 previously.
