Die meerderheid mense is bekommerd dat hulle dalk op ‘n later ouderdom demensie kan ontwikkel. Tog bestaan soveel onkunde oor demensie, en soms kleef ‘n stigma daaraan. Om meer bewustheid oor demensie te skep is September W\u00eareld Alzheimer-maand met die tema “Ask about dementia \u2212 Ask about Alzheimer’s.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demensie is ‘n sambreelterm vir ‘n versameling simptome wat breinverwante agteruitgang veroorsaak en ‘n invloed op geheue, denke, gedrag en emosie het. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meer as 100 vorme van demensie bestaan, met Alzheimer se siekte as die bekendste vorm.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As deel van demensie-bewuswording word ‘n “Kimberley Goes Purple”-veldtog op Vrydag 19 September deur die Noord-Kaap-streek van die Vereniging vir Demensie en Alzheimer se siekte van Suid-Afrika (Adasa) aangebied.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Om vrae oor demensie te vra is die eerste stap om di\u00e9 breinsiekte te begryp, om stigma te verminder, om uit te vind wat die versorging van iemand met demensie behels en om die invloed wat dit op versorgers en gesinslede het te begryp. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Kennis is mag, en elke gesprek maak ‘n verskil. Die reis van demensie behoort niemand alleen aan te pak nie,” s\u00ea die Vereniging vir Demensie en Alzheimer se siekte van Suid-Afrika (Adasa<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trekker simbolies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Omdat hulle die invloed van demensie direk beleef het toe hul pa daarmee diagnoseer is, het drie susters vroe\u00ebr die maand ‘n trekkerrit van Potchefstroom na Bredasdorp aangepak. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sentraal in di\u00e9 projek, Together Rallying Across Communities To Overcome Remembrance-loss (Tractor), was ‘n geborgde Landini-trekker. Die trekker simboliseer die langsame reis wat betrokkenes deurmaak, maar ook die kragtige teenwoordigheid van hulp, veerkragtigheid en hoop.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esm\u00e9 Marks, een van die susters en bestuurder van die projek, het vroe\u00ebr vertel dat Tractor daarop gemik is om bewustheid van die emosionele en maatskaplike invloed van demensie op Suid-Afrikaanse gesinne te verhoog. Marks is van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) in Potchefstroom, en die veldtog is deur NWU-ondersteuningspersoneel ko\u00f6rdineer en as ‘n projek aan die fakulteit geesteswetenskap registreer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/a50765c21ef3c45c021aae194bd0c185","name":"Helena Barnard","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Helena Barnard"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/helena-barnard\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TractorRobertson_86583.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":269239,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/trekkertoer-skep-bewusmaking-van-langsame-reis-van-demensie\/","url_meta":{"origin":270185,"position":0},"title":"Trekkertoer skep bewusmaking van langsame reis van demensie","author":"Helena Barnard","date":"28 August 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"'n Trekkertoer van Potchefstroom via Kimberley tot in Bredasdorp is daarop gemik om bewustheid van die emosionele en sosiale impak van demensie op gesinne te verhoog.","rel":"","context":"In "Community"","block_context":{"text":"Community","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/community\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Esm\u00e9 Marks, projekbestuurder, op die Landini-trekker.","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Esme-Marks.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Esme-Marks.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Esme-Marks.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":271592,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/goues-oues-wys-vernuf-met-flink-dink-en-doen-tydens-jaarlikse-kampioenskap\/","url_meta":{"origin":270185,"position":1},"title":"‘Goue Oues’ wys vernuf met flink dink en doen tydens jaarlikse kampioenskap","author":"Helena Barnard","date":"29 October 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Die jaarlikse Golden Oldies-kampioenskap wat in Kimberley aangebied is, het 18 spanne byeengebring wat flink gedink en doen het.","rel":"","context":"In "Community"","block_context":{"text":"Community","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/community\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Golden Oldies-kampioenskap Kimberley.","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSCN9689_62906.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSCN9689_62906.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSCN9689_62906.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSCN9689_62906.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSCN9689_62906.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":270184,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/knowledge-is-power-ask-about-dementia-ask-about-alzheimers\/","url_meta":{"origin":270185,"position":2},"title":"Knowledge is power: Ask about dementia, ask about Alzheimer’s","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"18 September 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"One in two individuals will encounter dementia, either personally or as caregivers.
