Medical Matters: World Retina Day on 24 September and the impact that diabetes has on it.

 On today’s edition of Kwantu, we will focus on imphepho, a herb that has been used by indigenous people of Southern Africa for centuries. We will explore its properties, uses, and how it has evolved over time. In addition to its traditional use as incense, imphepho has also been incorporated into various products such as soaps, lotions, and more.

Joining us to explore this topic is Siyabonga Mkhize, African Spiritual Advisor and MD of Umsamo.

Kwantu Feature: What is imphepho?

South Africa is considered to be the rape capital of the world with 10 818 rape cases reported in the first quarter of 2022. The rate at which women are killed by intimate partners in this country is five times higher than the global average. In September 2021, three new laws were passed with the aims of improving the criminal justice system's response to GBV; enhancing protection for survivors; and strengthening prevention strategies. In addition, President Cyril Ramaphosa pledged that the national government would earmark R1. 6 billion to counter GBV. Was that ever achieved? We’re there any significant work done to show that there is work being done to reduce or eradicate this scourge? To answer these questions were joined by Dr Nthabiseng Moleko, Economist at Stellenbosch Business School
