Afrikaans singer regains consciousness

Johannesburg - Tenor Jannie Moolman has regained consciousness and is speaking, a spokesperson said on Wednesday.

"He is still in the trauma unit but he has regained consciousness," Barnard Beukman said.

"Since Sunday he has been speaking and having conversations with his family and close friends."

He said Moolman's recovery was progressing well. It was unclear whether Moolman remembered what happened to him. He is being treated at Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg.

Moolman was injured at the Mango restaurant in Hartbeespoort, North West. Huisgenoot reported that he fell from the second floor of the restaurant during a bachelor party. Rapport later reported that Moolman didn't fall but was attacked by a group of school boys.

The exact cause of his injuries have not been made public.

He underwent an operation to his face to mend six bone fractures on 10 April.
