    The prevalence of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is rising, with 1 in 37 people expected to receive a diagnosis according to Parkinson’s UK. This increase is largely due to growing and ageing populations. In Africa, the relatively younger demographic leads to a lower prevalence, but the continent faces unique challenges in diagnosing and treating PD. Neurologists are scarce, and in South Africa, they are mostly limited to the private healthcare sector, leaving much of the population with insufficient access. Stigma tied to beliefs in witchcraft further isolates individuals with Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s ZA, a non-profit organisation, aims to improve lives impacted by Parkinson’s disease. Founded by Rakesh Harribhai, inspired by his late mother’s experience, the organisation has adapted an Indian model more suited to South Africa’s healthcare context. Currently operating in Durban, Parkinson’s ZA offers diverse activities and plans to expand to Cape Town and Johannesburg, beginning with a care home in Pretoria East. Harribhai said he witnessed how members were isolated, withdrawn, and hesitant and have since embraced activities like table tennis and group outings to the beach.

    Tensions are escalating in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where Rwandan-backed M23 rebels are battling government forces for control of the strategic city of Goma. Reports indicate thousands of Rwandan troops may have entered the region, heightening fears of a broader regional conflict. With South Africa playing a key role in African peacekeeping efforts and President Cyril Ramaphosa already engaging in diplomatic talks with Rwanda’s Paul Kagame, what influence can Pretoria bring to the table? And what does this crisis mean for regional stability, trade, and South Africa’s role in African diplomacy. Bloomberg reporters Simon Marks and Michael Kavanagh, who’s covered the region for 20 years, join Jennifer Zabasajja to explain who the key players in the conflict are, what chance there is for a ceasefire and the risk this could spread into a wider regional conflict.
