These words were recently uttered by an excited neighbour who went out of his way to help a young boy regain his life. The young boy whose future looked bleak at the beginning of last year is looking forward to a bright future this year. Being back amongst his friends, Lebohang Mokale (6), is looking forward to starting Grade 1 at Lefika Primary School in Zone 7 Sebokeng this year. Sedibeng Ster reported last year that Mokale was suffering from Tubercolosis of the stomach and was admitted at the Sebokeng Hospital with a swollen and bulging tummy and there seemed to be no help
forthcoming. Through the help of his neighbour, Paul Makhale, who brought the boy’s pain to public attention, Mokale was transferred from Sebokeng Hospital to Wits Gordan Jordan Hospital in Johannesburg where he was operated on late last year and started to make small strides. This year he is fully recovered and is ready for school. Speaking to Sedibeng Ster while at the Sebokeng Hospital last year Mokale said, “All that I want is to be healed and go back home, I miss my mates.”
His wish has been fulfilled. Kedibone Mokale, his mother, can’t hide her excitement over the new developments as all she wanted was for her son to return to normalcy. Makhale said to Sedibeng Ster, “We thank God for His mercy.
God is great and if He says you can be healed, you can be healed. “I love this boy as my own and I am filled with joy that he is healed and that he can continue with his young life. “We would also like to thank all the contributors who came through in any way with donations and say that they should not only do this for this young boy, but to all of those who are in need.” Makhale concluded.
