Mental Health Awareness Week 13 – 19 May 2024
This year, the theme for Mental Health Awareness Week is "Movement: Moving More
for Our Mental Health,"
It is a time for us to come together and shed light on a topic that affects us all – our
mental well-being.
Physical activity has been shown to have a remarkable impact on our mental health.
Engaging in physical activity for as little as 150 minutes per week can lower the risk of
depression by up to 20%.
When we exercise, our bodies release endorphins – those wonderful "feel-good"
hormones that boost our spirits and leave us with a sense of accomplishment and
happiness.
Next time you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or anxious, consider going for a walk or
engaging in any form of physical activity that you enjoy. You might be surprised at the
positive impact it can have on your mental state.
Incorporating movement into our daily lives does not have to be complicated. It can be
as simple as taking a walk even during your lunch break, walking your dog, riding a
bike, dancing or practicing yoga. Find activities that resonate with you and bring you joy.
Start small and gradually increase your activity levels.
Cannot emphasize enough the importance of community and support when it comes to
mental health. It is crucial to create an environment where open conversations about
mental health are encouraged and stigma is eradicated. Let us be there for one another,
lending a listening ear and extending a helping hand.
Take a step towards better mental health. Find activities that you enjoy, move your
body, and make it a priority. Let us support one another and foster a culture of
understanding and compassion.
Let us continue to raise awareness and advocate for mental health throughout this week
and beyond.
Together, we can make a difference and create a society where mental health is
prioritized.

Elderly Man Evicted from Longtime Home Amidst Controversy, Seeks Justice

In a shocking turn of events, Mr. Phoso Stephen Huwa, a 97-year-old resident who recently celebrated his birthday in February, has been forcibly evicted from his family home in Glendale under unclear circumstances. Mr. Huwa, along with his wife and three children, had resided peacefully in their home for a remarkable 18 years, making the eviction a devastating blow to the family.
The Huwa family's world was turned upside down when the Sheriff arrived at their residence without following the proper eviction procedures. The lack of transparency surrounding the eviction process has only deepened the distress experienced by the family, leaving them bewildered and seeking answers.
In a show of compassion and solidarity, a benevolent neighbor has stepped forward to offer the Huwa family temporary shelter in his workshop. This act of kindness has provided them with some respite during this challenging period, allowing them to gather their thoughts and plan their next steps.
Despite their dire circumstances, Mrs. Huwa is fighting tirelessly to rectify the situation and ensure justice is served. However, the family's efforts to reclaim their home have hit a roadblock due to flaws within the judicial process. The exact nature of these flaws remains undisclosed, further exacerbating the Huwa family's struggle to find a resolution.
In their pursuit of justice, the Huwa family is exploring all available avenues. They are consulting legal professionals and seeking assistance from local organizations specializing in housing rights and tenant advocacy. These entities may provide valuable guidance on navigating the complex legal system and advocating for their rights as homeowners.
The individuals responsible for evicting the Huwa family have proceeded to renovate the house without waiting for the court case to reach its final resolution. Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, the people involved have taken it upon themselves to begin making alterations and improvements to the property.
To bolster their case, the Huwa family is meticulously documenting every detail related to their eviction, including interactions with the Sheriff and any evidence indicating improper procedures. This comprehensive documentation could prove crucial as they pursue legal avenues to regain their home or seek support from advocacy groups in their quest for justice.
The plight of Mr. Phoso Stephen Huwa and his family serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by vulnerable individuals in the housing sector. It highlights the pressing need for a fair and transparent eviction process that safeguards the rights and well-being of homeowners, particularly the elderly and those with long-standing residency.
As the Huwa family perseveres through this distressing ordeal, the hope remains that justice will prevail, and they will ultimately regain possession of their cherished home. The solidarity displayed by their neighbor's support is a testament to the power of community and compassion in times of adversity.

MALE ENGANGEMENT IN HIV
Men and boys are less likely to test for HIV, to initiate antiretroviral therapy and to remain engaged in care. Globally, antiretroviral therapy coverage of men lags that of women and men are therefore dying of AIDS-related illnesses and many other diseases at disproportionately higher rates than their female counterparts.
Primary health-care services in eastern and southern Africa place a great deal of focus on women of reproductive age, and reproductive, maternal and child health services offer ideal entry points for HIV services—similar entry points for men are not commonplace.
Are health institutions organized in ways that promote access to services for men and boys?

The Epilepsy community join hands to celebrate the International Epilepsy Day 2024

By : Jacob Ngwenya

International Epilepsy Day is a global event dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy, a neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. This annual observance aims to promote understanding, reduce stigma, and provide support to individuals living with epilepsy and their families. International Epilepsy Day is an initiative that unites people from around the world to raise awareness about epilepsy and its impact on individuals and communities. Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures, and it affects people of all ages. By shedding light on epilepsy, this day aims to dispel misconceptions, provide education, and foster a more inclusive and supportive society for those with epilepsy. International Epilepsy Day is observed on the second Monday of February each year. In 2024, it falls on February 12th. It’s a day for individuals, organizations, and communities to come together and make a difference in the lives of those affected by epilepsy. This year's theme is 'Milestone in my epilepsy journey'.

Despite being one of the world's oldest known medical conditions, public fear and misunderstanding about epilepsy persist, making many people reluctant to talk about it. That reluctance leads to lives lived in the shadows, lack of understanding about individual risk, discrimination in workplaces and communities, and a lack of funding for new therapies research. People with epilepsy die prematurely at a higher rate compared to the general population. The most common cause of death from epilepsy is sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, known as SUDEP. For many people living with epilepsy, the misconceptions and discrimination can be more difficult to overcome than the seizures themselves.

Clemence Mazhambe(48) from Masvingo who lives with epilepsy bemoaned how difficult it is to be epileptic in Zimbabwe. Describing how it is not a walk in the park for him and his fellow compatriots in the face of perennial drug shortages in local public hospitals in Zimbabwe forcing him to go for some days without either taking medication or unwillingly resorting to reducing dosages or skipping doses without medical supervision from his health care service providers. This scenario is exposing Muzhambe and his fellow comrades in arms to more seizures despite of being aware that every seizure leads to more brain damage and possibly self harm. Stigma and discrimination associated to epilepsy which is largely driven by myths and misconceptions is further complicating their already unbearable lives. He is appealing to the members of the public to understand that epilepsy is just another one of many neurological disorders which has no link to witchcraft or avenging spirits known as ngozi/ingozi in local languages. Some people assume that getting in contact with fluids like saliva produced by a person with epilepsy during a seizure will also see them developing the disease as if it is contagious contrary to their beliefs that epilepsy is not contagious at all.

On a worst case scenario Thembeni Mzizi who stays in Killaney in Bulawayo is currently battling serious burns for a third consecutive time due to epileptic seizures. Her condition forced her to settle in some informal settlement living in squalor conditions which further expose her to infection as the epileptic condition is not more than her to bear. She can not afford to buy medications whenever they are out of stock in hospital. Her condition has driven her further into dire poverty which forces her stay put in a dangerous environment or her where she has no break and escape from epileptic consequences that seem to haunting her until her last breath unless of some well wishers come to her rescue.

The epilepsy community will be using this International Epilepsy Day to raise awareness of epilepsy and to drive the implementation of the World Health Organization's [WHO] 10-year Inter-sectoral Global Action Plan(IGAP) on Epilepsy and other Neurological conditions. IGAP is a ten-year roadmap that contains a specific strategic objective to strengthen the public health approach to epilepsy and two global targets aiming to close the major treatment and inclusion gaps for people with epilepsy worldwide:
● Global target 5.1: By 2031, countries will have increased service coverage for epilepsy by 50% from the current coverage in 2021.
● Global target 5.2: 80% of countries will have developed or updated their legislation to promote and protect the human rights of people with epilepsy by 2031.

One of the key barriers to achieving these epilepsy-specific global targets is the low levels of health literacy and the high levels of misunderstanding and misconceptions about epilepsy. This lack of knowledge translates into social stigma and exclusion and leads to the discrimination of people with epilepsy across all levels of society. For example, at work, at school or in the community. Lack of knowledge can also contribute to challenges in access to treatment due to misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment decisions, inadequate provision of care and insufficient support for people with epilepsy and those who care for them. In fact, due to the stigma surrounding epilepsy, in many parts of the world, those affected will not come forward to seek care Additionally, lack of knowledge also hampers prioritization of, and resource allocation to, epilepsy by our policy and decision-makers, and acknowledgment of the need for specific policies and programmes to address the burden of epilepsy.

Cervical Cancer Awareness Month
January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, but awareness should not be restricted to January only but rather be an ongoing exercise. Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Most cervical cancer related deaths can be prevented through screening for early detection and treatment. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the main cause of Cervical Cancer. HPV is a common virus that is passed from one person to another during s*x. Renowned Oncologist and Founder of Cancerserve Trust, Dr Anna Mary Nyakabau helps us to understand the general knowledge of cervical cancer focusing on early detection and awareness raising to prevent cervical cancer related deaths. Cancer can be overwhelming let us be there for our friends and family, tell our stories to help the next person. Let this be an ongoing conversation.

Maxwell Kapachawo has been in the pastoral ministry since 1997. He was diagnosed with HIV in 2002 and started ART in 2005. Max takes his medicines religiously as if Prayer doesn't work and prayerful each day as if medicines don't work! His journey as a religious leader living openly with HIV has not been a welcome issue within the religiously fraternity and has faced much Stigma and Discrimination. This led to be ex-communicated in his church. “
“I thank God for the miracle of ARV's that has seen me this far. I suffered with TB twice and survived. Being HIV+ then taking TB medicines that included daily injections for 60days. In all this I thank God for the gift of life”
Max was honored as a TB Champion in his beloved country, Zimbabwe.

Male Engagement In HIV - Issues and Challenges Faced with Men Living with HIV
Men in general have a poor health seeking behavior. Unlike women, men are not found on the forefront when it comes to matters of their health. We talk to Rev Maxwell Kapachawo to find out issues and challenges men living with HIV face in their day to day lives.
