Bishop Dube (69), a man making a difference by providing community education and support on HIV and tuberculosis (TB), has had his vision restored and is back to inspiring and empowering others with awareness in Diepsloot.
“Now I can see. If it were not for the Netcare Foundation and Dr Sachin Bawa, I would still be a blind man,” says Dube one of the latest beneficiaries of a cataract surgery programme.
“I was completely blind before, but this operation saved my life. I hope this initiative helps others to see again, just like it helped me,” he says.
Dube’s cataracts were successfully removed from both eyes at the iSurgeon Specialist Eye Clinic. Through the Gift of Sight programme, Netcare’s corporate social investment (CSI) arm, the Netcare Foundation, and community-minded specialists, including Dr Bawa, Dr Kashmira Rawjee, Dr Angelika Carey and Dr Asvira Moodley.
