Welcome to Witch Hunt, where we uncover the ongoing crisis of modern witch hunts and harmful practices. 

In this episode, we talk with Berrie Holtzhausen, founder of Alzheimer’s Dementia Namibia. Berrie’s incredible journey to become a dementia advocate highlights his dedication to educating communities where those with dementia are often mistaken for harming their community with witchcraft.

Hear Berrie’s powerful stories of resilience, his fight against stigma, and his efforts to create dementia-friendly communities. Despite his own Alzheimer's diagnosis, Berrie continues to rescue those falsely accused of witchcraft due to dementia symptoms.
