Can traditional healers and medical doctors work together? We travel to rural KwaZulu-Natal — to a project that works with people with psychiatric illnesses — to find out. We speak with traditional healers, family members of patients and doctors. You’ll be surprised at the outcome.

Our Mia Malan speaks to medical doctor Tlaleng Mofokeng about how to stay happy and healthy down there.

Bhekisisa director Mia Malan on why South Africa should decriminalise sex work.

Mariska Majoor from Amsterdam in The Netherlands became a sex worker when she was a teenager. Five years later, she started Amsterdam’s Prostitution Information Centre that people can visit to learn more about sex work. Mariska’s daughter Robin, 21, was born during that time. Mariska prefers for her not to be a sex worker because of the “complicated life around sex work”. Mia Malan visited Mariska and Robin in Amsterdam.

Tlaleng Mafokeng is a reproductive health doctor in Johannesburg and also the deputy chairperson of the advocacy group, the Sexual and Reproductive Coalition of South Africa. She believes sex work should not be criminalised. “Just because something is undignified and you would not do it, doesn’t mean those who do it must be criminalized and punished,” she says. Mia Malan spoke by phone to Makokeng.
