On the Brooklyn Chest Show, Sesethu interviewed Phumeza Tisile about TB Advocacy. In 2010, Phumeza was diagnosed with XDR-TB and against all odds, she was cured in 2013, although she was left deaf. In 2015, she got a once in a lifetime chance to hear again with Cochlear Implants. She is now a Health Activist, student at UCT, and an Advocacy Officer at TB Proof – an organisation that advocates for high quality TB prevention and care. Phumeza presented the first Drug Resistant TB Manifesto at the 67th World Health Assembly in Geneva which she co-authored. And in 2014 she was awarded the Mail & Guardian 200 Young South Africans in the category DR-TB activist.
