Limpopo Social Worker

Macmillan Kondowe

My Name is Macmillan Kondowe. I’m a Social Worker with 8 years experience. I’ve worked for Alzheimer’s SA since 2016. I started my journey as a part time contract social worker, working with an NGO called Age in Action and as I ran the programs concurrently with that of Alzheimer’s SA.

I’m solely working for Alzheimer’s SA running the whole of Limpopo Region. I’m very versatile and have well rounded analytical and quantitative skills, blended with knowledge of mental health, gerontology, direct counseling, service intervention and advocacy.

I’m currently at the verge of finishing my Masters Research which specializes in Mental Health with direct focus to Alzheimer’s Disease.

General Inquiries

Limpopo Province is located in the northern region of South Africa; its natural topography is characterised by a semi-arid to tropical semi-arid terrain. Our main office is based in Polokwane the capital of the province. Polokwane which means the ‘place of safety’ as it exudes an environment which is always peaceful and accommodative. The province according to statistics in 2012 projected the 2nd highest population of Older Persons in South Africa according to size and distribution. This further enhancing the need for such an organisation that caters for the needs of Older Persons and their well-being. The Province is also diverse as it consists of several ethnic groups which in some way strengthens the organisation with better understanding of different races and ways to assist individuals, families and communities in a Holistic Approach. We have 5 support groups and 6 volunteers.
