20 April - Health

I did an interview with Ma Boys from Empilweni. Empilweni is a community-based Mental Health Project situated in Khayelitsha, near Cape Town (South Africa) and provides essential care for its clients through a comprehensive range of programmes. The project was initiated through the University of Cape Town’s Department of Mental Health and Psychiatry and has been functioning as an independent Community Based Organisation since January 2003. Empilweni is the only project in Khayelitsha with specialised services for children. If you would like to find out more about the village, you can call (021) 361 7063 or visit www.empilweni.org or if you are interested in funding Empilweni you can email the director director@empilweni.co.za
I was joined by Nchilo Madutung, an optometrist at the SAMWUMED clinic in Mitchell’s Plain. We spoke about cataracts. A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide, but interestingly enough; the disease is one of the less serious eye disorders. It has been reported that just about everyone will develop a cataract if they live long enough. Usually, the development of a cataract is a result of aging and is common among older people. For more information about cataracts, call (021) 391 4143.
My last interview was with Euginie Rawson, author of ‘There’s a remedy for that’, a book she wrote on homeopathy. We spoke about homeopathic medication and the types of ailments that can be treated by the using homeopathic medication. If you would like to find out more about Euginie’s book, you can visit www.theresaremedyforthat.com or call their call centre on 0825680908.
