Retired Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Meyiwa steps up recovery

Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Wiseman Meyiwa is making progress in his attempt to walk on his feet again.

The 20-year-old suffered a career-ending injury in a horrific car accident that left him in a wheelchair in 2018.

Meyiwa damaged his vertebrae and spinal cord in the process and he was forced into early retirement as he couldn't walk on his own.

Meyiwa retired as one of the brightest young talents in the country with two junior Fifa World Cup appearances to his name.
