This week on Health Matters, we spotlight epilepsy — a neurological condition that affects millions worldwide, yet remains deeply misunderstood and often stigmatized.
Our guest, Tebogo Sanele Tsweu, is a South African caregiver, actor, writer and motivational speaker who lives with epilepsy. Known for appearances on productions such as Skeem Saam, Generations: The Legacy, The Estate, and MTV Shuga, Tebogo uses his public platform to raise awareness about living with epilepsy while building a career in the performing arts.

He also works closely with children living with disabilities and is the founder of TSWEU PRODUCTIONS, promoting creativity as a space for empowerment.
Today’s conversation focuses on health literacy, stigma reduction, seizure management, and how society can better support people living with epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. These seizures occur due to sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. According to global health estimates, epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide, with a significant treatment gap in low- and middle-income countries.
