Thulani Shongwe, a seven-year-old boy who sustained serious injuries after he was exposed to electrical cables on 5 August, is back at home with his family after spending about two months in hospitals.

According to Ms Thobile Shongwe, Thulani’s mother, her son is back at school as well.

She said they are happy to have him back home, however things have changed.
