His daughter Danielle told the Pretoria News her father had been moved to a general ward at the Netcare Pretoria East Hospital, where he underwent an operation following the attack.
Meanwhile, a Facebook campaign was gaining momentum, with a R50 000 reward being offered for information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of the attackers.
“Doctors say he has made a remarkable recovery,” Danielle said. “He is awake and very talkative, but gets tired quickly.
“We even spoke about the incident that led to him being hospitalised and he said he was prepared to do all he could to protect us.”
Roodt, his wife Marina, their twin toddlers and Danielle were attacked at about 8pm at their Faerie Glen home.
