SAFA Technical Director, Neil Tovey who suffered a heart attack last Sunday, 16 October 2016 while training, will be discharged from hospital either on Sunday, 23 October or Monday, 24 October 2016, his brother Mark Tovey confirmed.

“He underwent blood tests this morning (Saturday, 22 October 2016), for doctors to determine his progress. He took a shower and had a short walk.

The doctors have confirmed that he will be discharged either Sunday or Monday and that is a huge relief for the entire family. This is an incredible story and once again I would like to thank all South Africans for their prayers; this has been like a miracle,” said Mark Tovey.

The former Bafana Bafana captain suffered a heart attack last Sunday afternoon while training and was rushed to hospital where he was placed into an intensive care unit.
