UPDATE: From Spider-Man to Superman, Vuyani can walk properly again!
In June last year, we met little Vuyani and his parents, Caroline and James, after a tragic house fire left them devastated.
In June last year, we met little Vuyani and his parents, Caroline and James. The family had been through a terrible fire ordeal at home. They had lost their three-month-old baby, while three-year-old Vuyani had been in a coma for six months.
When he woke up, he told his parents he wanted a Spider-Man party for his 4th birthday. Vuyani suffered burn wounds on the right side of his body. He needed surgery to his right foot, so he could walk properly again.

He also needed reconstructive surgery to his right ear.
Our friends at Operation Healing Hands assisted Vuyani with his foot operation and our friends at Spur treated Vuyani, his friends, and family to a Spider-Man party!
Today we have more good news for Vuyani and his family!
Our friends at the Smile Foundation will be assisting with the reconstructive surgery to his right ear.
UPDATE: Little Wanga is back after successful heart surgery

ORIGINAL REQUEST:
Good day,I am writing on behalf of a friend and a work colleague that has been an inspiration to us.
Their house burnt down to the ground. They lost their three month old son that burnt to dead. The father calls him "My king".
The little Vuyani Ncube (3) Survived but was for six months in ICU and for a very long time still on oxygen and rehabilitation. He still awaits till this day for a heel and reconstruction surgery for his ear from Steve Biko.
They are however so positive and you would never say something is wrong and they lost their baby boy and one almost didn't survived. They always there to cheer us up.
Little Vuyani Is turning four years old on the 4th June. We would like to hold him a special birthday party for being such a brave and special boy.
I would like to request R6000.
Thank you.
Marieké Botha
