He completed his BSc (1999) and MBBCh (2005) at the University of the Witwatersrand. He then undertook his internship in Pietermaritzburg and community service in Ermelo, Mpumalanga.

 

Thereafter he returned to Johannesburg to complete his orthopaedic training and obtained his fellowship with the College of Orthopaedic surgeons (2013). Next, he completed a knee fellowship at the Linksfield Sports and Rehabilitation Centre and at the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital. He worked as a consultant in the Sports Unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, where he gained further knowledge and experience in treating complex knee and sports injuries.

He matriculated at St. Johns College, where his passion for sport was first consolidated. His love for sport saw him representing South Africa at age group level cricket. The highlight of this was becoming Captain of the U19 cricket team at the inaugural World Tournament held in South Africa. He also represented Gauteng in first class and List A cricket for many years after leaving school.

 

Dr Street is now a keen golfer and enjoys trail running.
