The queue to the doctor’s surgery was long and hot. Dulcy held her granny’s hand as they waited. Once a month the granny would make the journey from the village of Tladistad to Temba township in Hammanskraal to collect her hypertension medication.
“One day, when I was about six years old, my granny said to me, ‘You must become a doctor so I don’t need to stand for such a long time.’ And that was it. From that day on, all I wanted was to study medicine. Throughout school my teachers knew. They even called me doctor – because that’s all I talked about.”
