Cape Town team prepares for South Africa’s first pioneering epilepsy procedure
A multidisciplinary team at Mediclinic Constantiaberg is preparing to perform South Africa's first stereo-EEG procedure. The pioneering technique identifies where epileptic seizures originate in the brain, potentially opening the door to surgery for patients whose epilepsy does not respond to medication.
South African authorities are involved in a diplomatic dispute with Nigeria following accusations over the exclusion of Nigeria's ambassador from a livestream ceremony. Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has backed Nigeria's ambassador to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode, suggesting he is the most suitable individual to manage diplomatic relations between the two nations.
Sani argued that Fani-Kayode possesses the necessary adaptability to handle various diplomatic situations, stating, "Fani Kayode is the best choice for South Africa at this material time. They need someone who can switch to any mode when the occasion demands for it. If you speak diplomacy you get diplomacy, if you speak 'sakiya' you get 'Sakiya'."
The controversy arose after the Nigerian High Commission and South African Presidency accused each other of deliberately excluding Nigeria's delegation from the livestream of the presentation of Fani-Kayode's letter of credence to President Cyril Ramaphosa. The incident has sparked reactions from both nations on social media.
