When eight-year-old Aphile Dlamini woke up from a coma on Saturday, she would have learnt that her twin brother, Aphelele, had died when they fell down a lift shaft at their block of flats last month.
She had been in a coma since October 18, when they fell from the fourth floor to the basement at the Homii residential building on Pixley KaSeme Street in the Durban CBD.
Their father announced on social media on Sunday that Aphile had regained consciousness however, he said he would not be discussing the matter further.
