Sibongile Mofokeng concludes the show with Dr. MacMillian Kondowe, Regional Manager of Limpopo ADASA (Association for Dementia and Alzheimer’s), addressing the important topic of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. They discuss how, in many rural areas of Limpopo and across South Africa, symptoms of dementia—such as memory loss, confusion, and behavioral changes—are frequently misunderstood and feared. This lack of understanding has led to stigma, accusations of witchcraft, violence, and even suicide. Dr. Kondowe clarifies what dementia truly is, dispels harmful myths, and highlights the critical educational and protective work ADASA is doing to support communities and safeguard the elderly.
