    4. The Urgent Need for Dementia Awareness in Sub-Saharan Africa with Busani Mphathiwa, USA

      Episode Summary:

      In this episode of Dementia Caregivers` Corner, Juliah sits down with Rre Busani Mphathiwa, an advocate for dementia awareness and the founder of Pelonomi Foundation (Dementia Botswana). They explore the cultural, linguistic, and systemic challenges affecting dementia understanding and care in Botswana and Sub-Saharan Africa.

       

      A major issue? There is no Setswana word for “dementia.” This language gap, combined with deep-rooted cultural misconceptions, fuels stigma and prevents many families from seeking help.

       

      What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

      • The Language Barrier – Many African languages, including Setswana, lack a direct translation for "dementia," making awareness efforts more difficult.
      • Cultural Misconceptions – Dementia symptoms are often attributed to witchcraft, curses, or divine punishment, leading to isolation and neglect.
      • Recognizing Dementia Symptoms – Memory loss, confusion, and behavioral changes are early warning signs often misunderstood in African communities.
      • The Power of Advocacy – How organizations like Dementia Botswana are driving change through education, policy influence, and community outreach.

        •  

        Resources Mentioned:

        • Academic Article: Beliefs and Attitudes Towards Dementia Among Community Leaders in Northern Nigeria
        • Website: pelonomi.com

          •  

          Why This Matters:

          Dementia cases are rising in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet awareness and support systems remain limited. This episode sheds light on why breaking the stigma is crucial for better care and policy development.

          • Berrie Holtzhausen’s 'DNA' for Living Well with Alzheimer's Disease, Namibia

            In today’s episode, we are thrilled to welcome back Berrie Holtzhausen from Namibia, Africa. Berrie is the Founder and CEO of Alzheimer Dementia Namibia (ADN) and the visionary behind the Dementia Care Farm, a place of safety for people living with dementia, especially those wrongly accused of witchcraft.

            Berrie was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2020 and has since become a dedicated advocate for people living with dementia (PLWD). In this episode, he shares his personal experiences, the challenges of stigma, and his innovative approach to prolonging life with dementia.

            • Key Topics Discussed:
              • Berrie’s personal updates on living with dementia and how he manages changes in memory and focus.
            • His concept of DNA for prolonging life with dementia – a philosophy emphasizing inclusion and quality of life.
            • The importance of cultural awareness in dementia care—understanding backgrounds, emotions, and communication styles.
            • His ongoing work on a dementia-friendly village—an initiative to educate families and traditional leaders on dementia to combat stigma and harmful beliefs.

              • Key Takeaways:

              1. Do not disconnect me from life." A dementia diagnosis does not mean immediate incapacity—staying engaged is crucial.
              2. Stigma isolates people. Many friends walk away due to misconceptions about dementia, making social support even more essential.
              3. Senses play a vital role. While memory fades, sensory experiences (smell, touch, hearing) can help PLWD navigate their world.
              4. Education can change communities. By involving traditional leaders, Berrie’s dementia-friendly village aims to shift harmful narratives and improve dementia care.

                    • Honouring Jennifer Josey (1944-2024): A Journey Through Mixed Dementia with her daughter, Shellie Josey, UK

                      In this heartfelt episode, we pay tribute to Jennifer Mavis Josey, affectionately known as Jen, who passed away in October 2024 from mixed dementia. Shellie Josey, Jen’s only daughter, joins us to reflect on her mum’s life, their family’s caregiving journey, and how they’ve been coping since her passing.

                      We explore Jen’s background, her role as a mother and sister, and the qualities that made her so special. Shellie shares insights into the early symptoms of dementia, the family’s initial struggles, and how they learned to navigate life with her diagnosis. She discusses the importance of family unity, the challenges of accessing social care, and the value of maintaining friendships for those living with dementia.

                      The episode also highlights the family’s commitment to honoring Jen’s wish to remain at home, the adjustments they made to accommodate her needs, and Shellie’s journey toward finding purpose after her mother’s death.

                      Shellie concludes with advice for families caring for parents with dementia, offering encouragement and wisdom to those on a similar path.

                      This episode is a celebration of Jen’s legacy and a source of inspiration and support for caregivers and families worldwide.

                       

                      Key Takeaways from This Episode:

                      • Family Unity is Vital
                        • Caring for a loved one with dementia requires strong family collaboration and support. Shellie emphasized how working together as a family helped them navigate the emotional and practical challenges of Jen’s dementia journey.
                      • Early Symptoms Often Go Unrecognized
                        • Many families, including Jen’s, are unaware of dementia until it directly impacts them. Recognizing unusual behaviors and seeking timely medical advice is crucial for early diagnosis and better care planning.
                      • The Importance of Honoring Wishes
                        • Jen’s wish to remain at home rather than move to a care home required significant adjustments and sacrifices. Shellie’s story highlights the importance of respecting a loved one’s preferences and finding ways to fulfill them despite challenges.
                      • Friendships Play a Key Role
                        • Maintaining relationships is essential for individuals living with dementia. Shellie shared how Jen’s friends continued visiting her, providing comfort and connection. Encouraging friendships, even in advanced stages, can greatly enhance a person’s quality of life.
