Hamilton Naki
Hamilton Naki (26 June 1926 – 29 May 2005) was a teacher, trainer, and surgical assistant of Dr Christiaan Barnard who undertook the world's first heart transplantation at Groote Schuur Hospital, South Africa, in 1967. His roles went unrecognised by the public at large at the time due to apartheid, and he retired on a gardener's pension.
