It is here in Cape Town at the Groote Schuur hospital, that the first
heart transplant happened in 1967.



The historic operation: a foreign heart beating inside a patient's body.
The pioneer of this historic operation: professor Chris Barnard. His assistant:
Hamilton Nyaki. His oustanding destiny took him to the heart of medical
research.

Thanks to his dexterity, Hamilton perfects on animals the techniques
that will be applied on human patients.
