An enlightening and touching episode this week as your Host Juliah Ratladi talked down with Nduduzo, from Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa.

Nduduzo discovered his Grandmother was unwell when he came home for his mother’s funeral and soon discovered that she was living with dementia. He decided to do something really special and gave up his work to look after his Grandma because he felt he owed it to her to give back after she had looked after him.

Nduduzo has no training, but did extensive research into the needs of, and care for, those with dementia and his compassion and patience is inspiring.

Grandma also joins the call so you will get an opportunity to see what it takes to patiently work with someone who doesn’t always understand the world around them.

In this inspirational episode Juliah sat down with Andrias Mungundu, an newly registered nurse and an advocate for dementia rights and education in Namibia.

Since his mother’s experiences with dementia Andrias has worked with organisations and government to overcome the stigma of dementia in African communities where people are often accused of witchcraft.

His mother’s experiences with lack of understanding and treatment had massive impacts on the family, but Andrias was determined to support his family

He espouses very human and sympathetic ways to care for people with dementia, arguing that they need the same sort of patience we have for small children as they need to be cared for how they cared for their families in life.

So listen in and be inspired by Andrias and his journey.
