Prof. Harry Seftel

I have lived my entire life in Johannesburg. I went to Wits Medical School in 1946, graduated in 1952 and remained in the academy until 1997. I have three professorships; African Diseases, Medicine and Clinical Research. I obtained the highest honour at Wits University in 1995, a LLD (Doctor of Laws). My hobbies are running, weeding and house cleaning. I have published over 200 articles on a variety of medical topics, and have been with Talk Radio 702 since around 1990.
