Ep 34 | African Traditional Medicine Meets Mental Health | Dr Menze on Healing & Recovery
🎙️ In partnership with Mondia Health Sunnyside
🌿 Honoring African Healing, Medicine & Mental Health
On Episode 34 of Ishvani Unplugged, I sit down with Dr. Ntombizanele Menze, a remarkable General Practitioner with a special interest in mental health and a certified spiritual healer. In celebration of African Traditional Medicine Week (26–31 August), we explore the powerful intersection of Western medicine and African healing traditions— and what it means for mental health care today.
Dr. Menze opens up about:
🔹 Her unique journey combining medicine and spiritual healing
🔹 Why she chose to join Mondia Health Sunnyside
🔹 How Mondia’s patient-centered approach supports recovery
🔹 The role of African spirituality in restoring dignity and balance
🔹 Memorable moments where Western and traditional healing worked together
🔹 Advice for anyone feeling uncertain about seeking help
🔹 Her vision for the future of mental health care in South Africa
🎥 This episode was filmed at the Sunnyside facility, where Mondia Health continues its mission to provide compassionate, life-changing mental health and addiction care.
