We are pleased to report that the babies are now separate, alive, and well. The mother is overwhelmed with joy.
These were the excited words of Prof Nyaweleni Tshifularo as he confirmed the successful separation of conjoined identical twins born at Mankweng Tertiary Hospital as the prosecure marked a major medical milestone for Limpopo.
The twins were born on January 28 2026, sharing a liver, intestines, and vessels, in Polokwane, and underwent a complex separation surgery on Tuesday of which Tshifularo was the lead surgeon.
