“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.
