Life after Listeriosis Series: Stephen ThokwaneEntry/Object ID
PIE4264Description
Stephen Thokwane is a shadow of his former self. The fit and healthy man fell ill in December 2017. What started off as a mere headache and flu-like symptoms turned into a nightmare for his family.
Dumbfounded by his sudden illness, which was presumed to be a stroke, the family first sought spiritual help. The prophet told the family that they needed to pray for Stephen. He was then admitted into hospital, where he lost his eyesight, suffered with severe delirium and temporary paralyses.
The man who used to jog 15KM’s at a time, found himself having to learn how to walk again. And while he is back on his feet, his health is still not what it was. He sufferers with fatigue, and he has lost strength. Due to this, he is no longer able to continue his part time job of boiler making, which he used to support his family, alongside his formal employment.
Thokwane is now working towards paying off a loan he took out to build a house for his wife and four kids. “After he got so sick, he was worried that he may die without leaving us with a roof over our head, so he took out a loan to build this house,” his wife Maggi said.Edition
