PROFESSOR Leonhard Mehlber, a renowned neurosurgeon, is no more. I had the privilege of meeting him only once on a Zoom platform last month where we agreed on a face-to-face meeting shortly. Sadly, that will now no longer happen.
The surprise meeting came about through Thami Mtshali, a chemical engineer by profession and director of Galela, where for the past five years Mehlber was a member of the scientific research team. Mtshali has been in the media on how Covid-19 can be fought using the immune system boosting Galela oil.
