It’s African Traditional Medicine Week
Lentswe, Klerksdorp - For many, healing starts in the home, in ritual, in community, and in deep spiritual connection. As both a clinical psychologist and Igqirha, a Xhosa divine healer, Anele Siswana understands that mental well-ness in Africa cannot be fully supported without acknowledging the value of African traditional medicine and spirituality. Each year, from August 26 to 31, African Traditional Medicine Week is observed - a powerful reminder that healing in Africa has always been more than medicine in a bottle or a prescription from a pharmacy.
