Relebogile Mabotja speaks to Debbie Beech, a dementia specialist, qualified social worker, and manager of Elphin Lodge Retirement Village at Rand Aid, for a thoughtful conversation about navigating dementia.

Often misunderstood or dismissed as a normal part of ageing, dementia is far more complex and far more urgent than many realise.

This discussion creates space for a deeper, more informed look at the condition, equipping families, caregivers, and communities with practical knowledge and support. Because dementia is not just a medical diagnosis, it’s an emotional, social, and economic journey that impacts entire families.

Broadcaster veteran Relebogile Mabotja brings a fresh, relaxed take on the issues of the day, alongside lifestyle talk and all things entertainment.

Thanks for listening.
