    Cholera case in Eastern Cape

    An 11-month-old baby is in an isolation unit in East London's Cecilia Makiwane Hospital after being diagnosed with cholera, the Eastern Cape health department said.

    Spokesman Sizwe Kupelo said the baby came from Kwampundu, northeast of East London.


    Comment: the picture accompanying this story shows an older child and the caption:

    Transkei. Eastern Cape: bereaved cholera victim Sizeni Baninzi, 11, is frightened and alone. She is on a drip and being treated at the Qhumanco Clinic in Cofimvaba district by Sister Belekazi Dlali.
