Eastern Cape teen's heart fixed after 16 years on waiting list
A 17-year-old boy who has been on the heart surgery waiting list for 16 years has finally received the life-saving operation he has been dreaming of for most of his life. Zithobile Dayile, from Walmer township, Gqeberha, is recovering at home after his successful operation a few weeks ago. The surgery, which was performed at the Busamed Private Hospital in Paardevlei in the Western Cape, was to repair a faulty tube in a hole in his heart.
