We met six-year-old Wanga and her dad, Takalani, in February this year. She desperately needed surgery to mend a hole in her heart. Wanga is one of the estimated 11,000 children born with a heart defect in South Africa every year. She was diagnosed with a PDA - or a hole in the heart - a birth defect that can be mended through early detection and surgery.
