Their mother, Ntombikayise Tyhalisi still could not believe that the babies survived the operation and she was now able to hold one in each arm.“The twins are doing well. Some of the family members are still struggling to tell them apart. But we've noticed that Siphosethu tends to lean on her neck a lot. Both have brought joy to us,” she said.

However, the connection between the girls did not involve any shared brain tissue or major blood vessels, said Figaji.“This is a huge plus for the recovery of the twins,” said Professor Saleigh Adams, the head of plastic surgery.Tyhalisi said although her late mother was a twin, she never imagined that she would give birth to twins.

The twin girls were delivered in a hospital in Gcuwa and were transferred to Frere Hospital in East London before they were flown to Cape Town for the surgery. “It broke my heart to see them in the incubator. But I am glad that all that pain is now over. I am extremely grateful to the health care staff that has given me support throughout this journey.
