About Cyril Karabus
Cyril Karabus (1 April 1935 – 9 June 2026) was a South African paediatric oncologist. Karabus was initially well-recognised in South Africa for his work with black cancer patients during apartheid. In 2012, Karabus gained international attention after he was detained in the United Arab Emirates, where (eight years earlier and without his knowledge) he had been convicted in absentia of manslaughter and forgery. Following boycotts in South Africa against the UAE, and pressure from the South African government, the UAE acquitted him of all charges in March 2013, and he returned to South Africa in May of that year.
