Doctors in Cape Town say patient has regained all urinary and reproductive functions after ground-breaking operation.

The reportedly successful penis transplant could have pivotal consequences for the medical community [AFP]
South African doctors have confirmed that they performed the world's first successful penis transplant, three months after conducting the ground-breaking operation.
The 21-year-old patient had his penis amputated three years ago after a botched circumcision at a traditional initiation ceremony.
In a nine-hour operation at the Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town on December 11 last year, he received his new penis from a deceased donor.
"We've proved that it can be done -- we can give someone an organ that is just as good as the one that he had," said Professor Frank Graewe, head of plastic reconstructive surgery at Stellenbosch University.
"It was a privilege to be part of this first successful penis transplant in the world."
Doctors said the man, whose identity has not been disclosed, has made a full recovery since the operation and had regained all his urinary and reproductive functions.
In 2006, a Chinese man had a penis transplant but his doctors removed the organ after two weeks due to "a severe psychological problem of the recipient and his wife".

The gist here is SA is an African country. She has been doing a lot of wonderful groundbreaking things in science , politics, economy and technology. When is my country Nigeria, the self acclaimed giant of Africa, going to get it right? Nigerians are running to SA everyday for a greener pasture not minding the treatment being meted on them. Don't you people think we should wake up and demand our leaders to work for this country greatness?

We need to widen our scope as ziticens, sack any form of underperforming leaders, enthrone those who are ready to work and stand up to monitor them and demand them to work for the greatness of this country.

I rest my case.
