KZN toddler celebrates first birthday milestone after cleft surgery
Story 2
Three-year-old Nzulu from KwaZulu-Natal recently blew out his birthday candles for the first time, thanks to cleft lip and palate surgeries through Operation Smile South Africa.
The NGO has provided over 150 free surgeries this year alone, bringing the total to more than 500 life-changing procedures.
Nzulu’s parents say the support gave them hope and transformed their son’s journey.
They first learned about Operation Smile during a cleft awareness workshop for Community Healthcare Workers in rural Bizana, Eastern Cape, which connected families to free surgical care.

Scimitar-horned oryx moves from extinct in the wild to endangered
Story 3
The scimitar-horned oryx, once extinct in the wild, has now been reclassified as endangered. Conservation efforts over decades, including breeding programs in zoos, private reserves, and collections in the US, UK, Europe, and Abu Dhabi, helped restore the species.
Careful management of genetic diversity through the Marwell studbook allowed healthy populations to be reintroduced.
Since 2016, more than 347 oryx have been released into Chad’s Ouadi Rimé-Ouadi Achim Faunal Reserve, with populations now thriving in the wild in Chad, Tunisia, and Morocco.
