Eighteen-year-old Razelle Botha, who was left partially paralysed after she was shot in a house robbery in Pretoria, is winging her way around Canada and will be visiting Calgary University where she will be sorting out her enrolment and other academic matters ahead of next year when she plans to begin studying either medicine or actuary science.
Razelle was shot five times in the back eight months ago when two gunmen ambushed her in her bedroom at her family’s Moreleta Park home. The 18-year-old, who was in Pretoria East Hospital’s ICU for about two weeks with a near-severed spine, started her rehabilitation in February and after a lot of hard work she is now well enough to travel.
Razelle’s mother, Cobie, this week said her daughter was having a fantastic time overseas, where she was on a three-week road trip with her father. “She absolutely loves it and is having a ball.”
“The holiday is doing wonders for her and is helping her overcome her ordeal,” she said, adding that while Razelle was still using a wheelchair and crutches she was recovering well.
It is wonderful to see the fighting spirit of this young girl who touched the lives of thousands of people across the globe and saw hundreds of letters of support pouring in from across South Africa and the world, because she did not give up, she took everything in her stride and carried on with her life.
