Marthé Kotze - Programme Manager: Information & Awareness
SA Federation for Mental Health
In South Africa, the start of September 2017 brought the devastating news that an 8-year-old pupil in Mpumalanga had taken his own life while at school. Abroad, yet another public figure - Chester Bennington – committed suicide earlier this year, following what seems to have been a long struggle with mental illness. This has raised many questions in our minds, most of them left unanswered. What would lead a child to suicide? Could we have prevented this? How can a world-renowned star feel there is nothing left to live for? 10 September 2017 was World Suicide Prevention Day and the theme this year is 'Take a minute, change a life'.

KG talks about Casual Day 2017 with Therina Wentzel – National Director National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities.
At least one per cent of South Africans - over 500 000 people - are persons with disabilities. Most are unfortunately not financially equipped to deal with their disability. That's why a massive fundraising campaign takes place on the first of September every year. The fundraising campaign, called Casual Day, raises funds that reach over 500 schools and about 90 NGOs. Each year the funds raised from the sale of stickers and other merchandising benefits 39 000 people directly and close to three million people indirectly.
23 Aug 2017 - More South Africans are slumping back into poverty as previous gains are being reversed since 2011. Reasons include “anaemic” economic growth, stubbornly high unemployment and educational outcomes failures, according to Statistics South Africa’s “Poverty trends in South Africa: An examination of absolute poverty between 2006 and 2015” released on Tuesday. For policy-makers and government this diagnostic report raises deeply worrying questions about the continued pursuit of policies that fail to bring about change. For one in seven South Africans (13.4%) this meant extreme food poverty, or survival on R441 or less per person per month in 2015. Effectively, this is a return to the poverty levels of 2007.

14 August 2017 - The painful and tragic death of kwaito artist Anthony Motaung, popularly known or Tsekeleke, has highlighted the importance of gaining a greater understanding of diabetes and its legislative status in South Africa. Some 7% of South African adults aged between 21 and 79 (3.85 million people) have diabetes. Extensive research has been conducted into diabetes and there is considerable information about the medical aspect of this condition, however, not much has been said from a legislative standpoint.

LoveAloud #MarriageTalk with Mo&Phindi
Mo & Phindi, self-made relationship strategists and Authors. Today we will be talking about the importance of making time for your spouse.
In this busy, chaotic world of daily activities, tasks and schedules, it is easy to forget that the person you chose to spend your life with is the person who can make your days brighter and the road ahead easier to travel. For most couples, the key to improving their relationship is to make it a priority to spend more time together.
Men and women see time differently in relationships. For many men, just spending time together is “enough.” Not so for women. Women are typically looking for the magical moments during the time spent together to feel heard, loved and sexy. This basic difference means that relationships can struggle; when it comes to how time is spent together and its value to the overall relationship. Men are looking for the fun, the laughter, the humor, the sex. Women are looking for all these things, plus connection.
Yellow Monday with Gareth Carter - Director of WeDoRecover.com Mr. Carter is an internationally accredited addictions Councillor and have run addiction treatment clinics in the UK and South Africa. We are talking about the symptoms of drug addiction, understanding recovery options and rehab process. Which was inspired by the outbreak of the latest vampire-like horror from South Africa’s drug world called “Bluetooth”‚ after the technology which connects different electronic devices. But for the addicts practicing it‚ say experts‚ “Bluetooth” almost certainly means infection with potentially deadly diseases and possible death. A tiny bag of Nyaope – also known as whoonga, whose ingredients are said to include heroin among other drugs including anti-retrovirals‚ although this is disputed - costs R30 and is enough for one person. Solomon Matejoana‚ 19‚ said if they were a group of three addicts but only have a single hit‚ one will inject himself with the drug and share his blood with the others
