Durban - Star KZN trail runner Mthobisi Mzolo has survived a black mamba bite and after 101 days in hospital, has been released and is running the road to recovery.
Fortunately his uncle was home and had a car, so he was rushed to the Northdale hospital, before being transferred to the Intensive Care Unit at Grey's Hospital, where they administered treatment. “Whatever challenge I threw his way in the form of hectic tough runs like the Otter Trail Run and the Cathedral Peak Challenge, he conquered and always finished with a smile, no matter how shattered he was.”
"When he was just about to come out of his coma, we could see that he was acknowledging us with his head and ears, but his eyes weren’t open and he couldn’t speak. We saw him improving all the time and then his eyes opened. He has continued to get better but he still has a long way to go.”
