The man identified as Simon Mokgetli revealed that he nearly died after being stabbed in the neck last month. However, he said, it wasn’t his time to die, and he believes he was sent back to the land of the living by his beloved mum, Teressa Mokgetli.He said he believed his late mum spared his life because she wanted him to bring his family together.
The 52-year-old said he was stabbed by an unknown man at his home in Orlando, Soweto. After he was attacked, he was left to bleed to death.
“I was losing a lot of blood when I saw my mum’s face. I thought I was already dead, but she reappeared from her grave and stood in front of me and shook her head,” he said. “She told me I must go back to where I came from because it was not my time. She said I must bring my three sisters together, as it’s up to me to ensure they have peaceful lives. She saved my life so I can bring peace to our family.” Simon cared for his mum until she died at the age of 70 three years ago, after a short illness. After her death, his sisters started fighting with each other. Simon said they blamed him for their mum’s death because he was the one who had been taking care of her.
“Being stabbed was a sign that my mum is not happy with how we have been living since her death. I am going to try my hardest to resolve all our family problems so we can live in harmony.”
