DLOZILIYAKHALA TRADITIONAL MEDICINE FACILITY

TYPOLOGY : Planting Processing, Consultation and Retail | CLIENT : Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF) | LOCATION : Tubatse Municipality, Burgersfort, Limpopo Province | YEAR : 2020

The intention of the project was to expand an existing facility which was being run from the home of the project beneficiaries and formalise it and its business model.

The vision was to create a multi-use facility for growing and process indigenous plants used to produce and sell traditional medicine and other natural health products. The specialist component, which was added to this particular facility, would combine an on-site live-in care space with the processing and building technology. This would be used by a client/patient as part of their healing process under the guidance of the resident traditional healer.
