Sally le Roux

Picture
Sally is a doctor at Zithulele Hospital, and also leads the treatment and care of patients living with HIV/AIDS. Since she arrived in 2007, the hospital's ARV (Anti-Retroviral) drug programme has gone from strenth to strength, recently expanding to provide an outreach service at nearby clinics. Wife of Karl and mother to Emma, Sally juggles family and work with aplomb - provided she has a regular supply of strawberry milk!

As well as working as doctor, home-schooling and looking after a menagerie of animals, she is pioneering for the re-opening of Zithulele preschool and coordinates the Masikhule Garden & Nutrition project.

David Bishop

Dave currently works as an anaesthetist in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. He and his wife Leesa helped out at Zithulele Hospital during the staffing crisis of 2006, cutting short their travels abroad. Another coffee addict, Dave won the 'fastest exam writer' award at university and has a wonderfully dry sense of humour.

Leesa Bishop

Leesa is a doctor working part-time in HIV medicine and research in Pietermaritzburg, having worked at Zithulele in 2006. She is putting her organisational abilities to good use running Jabulani's finances and performing various administrative functions. Leesa is also an avid vegetable gardener and spends most of her free time thinking of ways to save the planet. But mostly she is currently attempting to raise her two sons Matthew and Sam, and her husband David; two of whom are now toilet-trained.
