From his humble beginnings in Cape Town’s District Six to his appointment as Head of the Western Cape Government’s Department of Health in 2020, Dr Keith Cloete shares his unique perspective on leadership as “a son of the Western Cape” and reveals how core values instilled by his parents have helped him to make meaning of his purpose and destiny.
In this inaugural episode of the Awakening Doctor podcast, we discuss his experiences at medical school during apartheid, the intersectionality of privilege and oppression in his personal story, his deep commitment to social justice, as well as key milestones on his leadership journey and the challenges of leading the department through the Covid pandemic.
Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation with one of South Africa’s foremost leaders in healthcare, and discover the power of optimism and self-determination in the pursuit of a brighter tomorrow.
