The Midday Escape

On #BookMarkers, we’re opening the pages of the book titled "Buried in Silence" by Pinkie Mohlala — a book that takes us into the things we often struggle to talk about, the experiences we keep to ourselves, and the impact that silence can have on our lives.

And who better to unpack it with us than someone who understands both health and the power of storytelling? We’re joined by medical doctor, health communicator and media personality Dr Pru Buthelezi.
