- Three-year-old Odeth from Angola was born with an abdominal wall defect that caused her liver to develop outside the protected abdominal cavity.
- Because suitable surgical and intensive-care facilities were unavailable in her home country, she came to Germany at age two through Friedensdorf International and was treated at Florence-Nightingale-Krankenhaus.
- During the first operation, doctors moved her liver into the abdominal cavity, closed the abdominal wall and inserted a stabilizing mesh, after which Odeth required two nights of ventilation in intensive care.
- A second procedure followed when the wound later opened, repositioning the organs, fixing the liver and revising the scar before Odeth returned to her family.
An operation like this has never been performed before. We faced the question: How do we bring the organs, which were covered by a thin layer of skin, under the abdominal wall?— Bertram Reingruber, Chief Physician of the Clinic for Pediatric Surgery and Pediatric Traumatology (as quoted in the NRZ article on Odeth)

- President Ramaphosa signaled willingness to extend the Madlanga Commission’s deadline if more time is needed.
- The commission encounters significant challenges including a broad mandate, logistical setbacks, and health-related interruptions.
- Key witnesses such as Vusimuzi Matlala and Suliman Carrim have missed scheduled appearances, delaying progress.
- Scrutiny grows over the commission’s ability to meet the end-of-July deadline for hearings and the August 31 report submission.
I am very pleased with the work that is being done with the Madlanga Commission. It may well be that they need a little bit more time and I'll listen to that request if it comes.— President Cyril Ramaphosa, speaking to journalists on Monday during the Chris Hani Regional Volunteers Launch at Qamata Great Place in Cofimvaba.

- The Republican majority on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted to pursue contempt proceedings against Anthony Fauci after he declined to answer questions.
- Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times at the previous week’s hearing because he feared Republicans could use his answers in an effort to bring charges.
- Rand Paul said he would send the recommendation directly to the Justice Department, bypassing a full Senate vote; Vice President JD Vance must first approve the move as president of the Senate.
- The Justice Department would then decide whether to bring formal charges, while legal experts warned that success was not assured and could lead to a lengthy court battle.
Under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.— Dr. Anthony Fauci, during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on July 29, 2026.

- Footage reveals Fakir restrained nearly seven minutes by officers and a civilian despite his repeated cries for help before losing consciousness.
- Fakir’s family lawyer highlights the absence of aid during restraint and references prior European human rights condemnations of Italy’s police conduct.
- Clashes erupted during protests in Bologna, injuring dozens of police officers and causing widespread damage to the city’s historic center.
- The case is the inaugural investigation under Italy’s February 2026 law that delays suspect registration for police, raising concerns about reduced accountability.
When the officers stand up, Fakir may still be alive. Yet no one attempts to help him. No one removes the restraints.— Fabio Anselmo, lawyer representing Fakir's family, during a July 21 news conference in the Italian Senate

- The specialised commercial crimes unit is handling the foreign currency theft at President Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm, with the trial ongoing.
- National director Shamila Batohi stated the matter is not currently on her desk, and no prosecutorial decision has been made yet.
