Durban - Former Bafana Bafana captain Neil Tovey is recovering well following a heart attack and is expected to be moved from the intensive care unit of an uMhlanga hospital to a general ward by the end of the week.

The 52-year-old was playing squash near his home in Mount Edgecombe, north of Durban, when he suffered the attack, before being driven to the nearby hospital by his girlfriend.
