Finally separated
Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that Ntombikayise Tyhalisi (31), the mother of Siphosethu and Amahle, twins who were born joined by their heads, recently expressed how delighted she was that her girls successfully underwent surgery to have them separated.
The surgery took place in February this year at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. The girls, who were born in the Eastern Cape, were transferred to the Red Cross hospital when they were only four days old.
“I am overjoyed! I wasn’t expecting to leave here holding my children one in each arm,” says the young mother in a Western Cape Govt article.
