[Watch] Doctors sing, ‘We Care’!

As South Africa eases up its hard lockdown and confrontationally faces the growing pandemic of Covid-19, its people remain resolute and determined to surmount this challenge and prevail.

Thirty General Practitioners – spanning all walks of life – came together virtually during lockdown to do something they usually wouldn’t: to sing, and to express to the people of South Africa their own Voices that Care.

A project of the recently founded Gauteng General Practitioners Collaboration and supported by Dis-Chem, every artist in this heart-warming video is an actively practicing general practitioner in South Africa. Not one of them is a professional artist, and every clip was filmed in isolation at their workplace. Most of them have never met.

Their plea is simple: Let us perpetuate the deep, unique voice of care in South Africa that uniquely equips it to overcome this crisis and to responsibly re-engage in the world.

Voices that Care – Composed by David Foster, Linda Thompson and Peter Cetera.

Project produced by Daniel Israel
