Gauteng Age In Action.

Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi welcomes Dr. Nickson Sibanda to the studio, spotlighting Gauteng Age in Action—an organization supporting old age homes without running them, backed by the Department of Social Development. As part of the national Age-in-Action network (formerly South African Council for the Aged, est. 1956), it advocates for over 2.7 million elderly South Africans, combating abuse, promoting rights, and delivering community programs like healthcare, education, and intergenerational events. Key efforts include lobbying for better services, awareness during International Day of Older Persons, and partnerships for volunteering to enhance seniors' wellbeing. This segment inspires community involvement to honor and uplift the elderly. Spectrum
