ZIMBABWE football legend Madinda “Khathazile” Ndlovu has
recovered from the stroke he suffered in September and has started
physiotherapy.
Ndlovu collapsed while conducting a morning training
session for his club Gaborone United and was rushed to hospital where he was
admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). He made a dramatic recovery
resulting in him being discharged from hospital last month.
Marko Dube, Ndlovu’s brother who has been by his bedside,
said the former Highlanders coach is recuperating in Gaborone.
“We thank the Almighty God for my brother’s recovery. He is
responding well to treatment and now he’s doing physiotherapy,” said Dube.
He said they are grateful for the support they got from
Gaborone United who bore medical expenses for Ndlovu and will continue doing so
until he makes a full recovery.
Last month Gaborone United chairman Boitumelo Nsunge told
Chronicle Sport that Ndlovu’s recovery was “quite impressive.”
Nsunge said the former Zimbabwe and Highlanders speedy
winger will be going for another routine medical checkup to determine whether
he will get back to coaching or call it a day.
Ndlovu is a larger than life character in both Zimbabwe and
Botswana and while he is yet to win a league title in his homeland, he has done
extremely well in Botswana, winning three back-to-back league titles with two
different clubs.
Authorities at Gaborone United were convinced that he would
lead them to the winners’ podium at the end of this season after luring him
from Highlanders. Chronicle
