Description
Mr President, members of the Society and guests, it is a great honour and privilege for me to deliver the 23rd D. J. du Plessis Lecture in honour of a man described by his peers as 'master surgeon, teacher and leader'. A man with vision, tenacity, integrity and compassion, one who has left an indelible and profound surgical and academic legacy, a true son of Africa. (1-6) Daniel Jacob du Plessis, or Sonny as so many of us came to know him, was born in Paarl in 1918. He was schooled at Paarl Boys' High and completed his medical studies at the University of Cape Town (UCT) in 1941. He joined the South African armed forces and rose to the position of Captain of the 20th South African Field Ambulance in the Western Desert and Italy. He started his illustrious surgical career at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) and subsequently at UCT. He was one of the famous 'seven dwarfs--giants' who trained under Professor Charles F. M. Saint. All seven had a profound and lasting influence on the practice of surgery in South Africa. They were professors D. J. du Plessis (Wits), C. H. Derksen (University of Pretoria (UP)), J. H. Louw (UCT), F. D. du Toit van Zyl (University of Stellenbosch (US)), J. J. W. van Zyl (US), K. Bremer (UP) and M. Cole Rous (UCT). His future leadership potential was recognised early in his life. In 1951 he was elected as Nuffield Fellow to Oxford, and at the young age of 40 years was appointed Professor and Head of the Department of Surgery at Wits. The Department under his leadership became world renowned.
