His mother Betty Klymsit said doctors would operate on his arm and leg.
She also confirmed Esterhuizen’s health had improved that he was was no longer critical.
“[It is] going much better with my son. He is in high-care now.”
Brits was laid to rest three weeks ago during an emotional ceremony.
“The funeral was very sad and emotional,” said Klymsit.
Doctors had previously delayed operating on Esterhuizen as he was “too weak” and they were not sure if he would survive.
