Obilale is reported to be in stable condition after undergoing surgery in South Africa, although he is still breathing with the assistance of a respirator. 
Hata hivyo, imeripotiwa kwamba hali ya Obilale sasa imetengemaa baada ya kufanyiwa upasuaji nchini Afrika ya Kusini, ingawa bado anaendelea kupumua kwa kutumia mashine maalumu ya kusaidia upumuaji.
