The family of SA cricketer Mondli Khumalo, who is critically injured after being attacked in the UK at the weekend, is preparing to visit him.
The department of sport, arts and culture confirmed on Thursday that it was assisting Khumalo's family from Durban with getting passports to travel to the UK. The department said the family will receive their passports on Friday.
Department spokesperson Madimetja Moleba said the ministry has already started talks with the department of home affairs to assist the family. ''Having been alerted to Khumalo’s plight by the KwaZulu-Natal Inland Cricket, this morning, the department immediately took steps to assist by engaging with home affairs with the fast-tracking of the passport application for members of his family to travel to the UK to be by his side at this difficult time,'' said Moleba.
He said minister Nathi Mthethwa contacted Khumalo’s mother to express his sympathies to the family during the difficult time they are going through.
