According to Google, mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act and helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions.<\/p>\n

When reached for comment, the local comedian aid: \u201cWell, the message is quite clear. Amplify the voices of those who are unheard and magnify different psychological disorders and how they should be handled.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cMany old people suffering from this disorder find themselves in uncomfortable positions in a different household and naked.\u201d He said communities usually said beka loya (loosely translated to he\/she was practicing witchcraft). That time, umuntfu lomdzala akati nekutsi, ufike njani lapho, and usuke akhuluma liciniso. Loosely translates to (when old people end up lost, naked, in someone else\u2019s home because of their condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about the team he worked with on the production of the short film, he said: \u201cI worked with a wonderful team from Primerk Studios that gave this masterpiece its magic. Lunga, Khethuxolo, Biggy, Angel, Cross, Shantel, Lomthandazo, Silverspoon, and Lebogang all brought the magic; this wouldn\u2019t have been successful without them.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Ndosh, the short film was shot at Ezulwini. He also added that they will make as many as possible, as long as they get funds here and there for the whole production to carry out the duties with due diligence.<\/p>\n

Ndosh highlighted that he is not yet working with any health institutions or government departments to create awareness about mental health, but if they do want to come on board, they will find the ball rolling.<\/p>\n

He concluded by saying, \u201cI would really encourage the public to read, not study, but read on the different psychological disorders, symptoms, and coping mechanisms so as to help those affected. We should get to a point whereby we\u2019re able to spot someone with depression the same way we\u2019re able to spot someone with a headache.\u201d<\/p>\n
