July 2025

“I will be back in the saddle soon.”

That was the positive response from injured jockey Mpumelelo Mjoka when he was asked about his recovery process.

Mjoka had a bad fall in the Listed Milkwood Stakes at Fairview May 23.

He underwent surgery for a fractured femur. Mpumi also injured his lower back.

The medical opinion was that the recovery period would be three to six months.

“The recovery process is still on track. I am in good spirits.

“I am getting there slowly, but I can move around.

“My final doctor’s appointment is next month and then I will take it from there.” Mjoka explained.
