'There was a protest over electricity. Cars and people were blocked from using the road but John did not allow that to prevent him from carrying out his duties.'
On his arrival at the clinic everyone was shocked. “We did not expect to see him,” said Matebese.
“We have been quite impressed with his performance. He always goes the extra mile, he’s very eager to learn and understands the importance of team work,” said Matebese.“We have another doctor, Dr Sityhilelo Majaja, who also could not get to the clinic. When he realised that the protesters had blocked the road, he actually went to one of their homes to request that he could park his car.” He then walked the rest of the way to work.
