Description
Dr Mamphela Ramphele was banished by the South African Government and accompanied by the police to a remote area thousands of miles away from where she had been working at the Zanempilo Clinic alongside Steve Biko and others of the Black Commununity Programmes. She found herself close to a ‘resettlement’ area in Northern Transvaal. Like other ‘resettlement’ areas (over three million people had been forcibly removed in South Africa since 1960) and the population was mainly women and children, the men having gone on contract work to earn money in the towns, Restricted to a small area herself, Dr Ramphele started a new clinic which grew into a full scale community health care centre, incorporating the community into a literacy scheme, vegetable growing, the running of the clinic, a creche for the children of working mothers, a brick-making project and so forth. She called it ITHUSENG, which means ‘help yourself’ and its aim and success has been to a prevent illness (and despair) and to build up health. She and the people tell us how this is done.
