Refilwe was fortunate to be chosen as the first beneficiary of the Walter Sisulu Paediatric Trust Fund, which was set up at the Sunninghill Private Hospital in Sandton.
Refilwe, who had attended a church service before departing, said on admission to the hospital: "I am actually not nervous, just excited that I was granted the opportunity and that I have a new lease of life."
Refilwe's problems started as a 6-month-old when doctors diagnosed her as suffering from truncocis arteriosis, a rare and potentially fatal disorder.
