Charmaine Hendricks the voice and face of the Abundant Life Palliative Care Center. It came as a SHOCK to us all, to hear of your Sudden Death on Saturday 8 November 2025.

Our team & the Victoria Hospital Wynberg Staff are all grieving at this time. We all pray her family are comforted at this time, knowing that Charmaine was a breath of fresh air, a shining smile, a positive impact on all she connected with.

Gone too soon, we will carry the flag.

Our Accreditation Manager, Warren Oxford-Huggett, clocked 700km across central KZN in three frosty days, meeting the incredible teams at Estcourt Hospice Association, Ladysmith Hospice association , Duduza Care Centre, and Philanjalo in Tugela Ferry.

From bumpy backroads to boots-on-the-ground caregiving, these sites reveal the beating heart of community-based palliative care. Adapted to local needs, rooted in compassion, and driven by dedicated teams, this is care shaped by South Africa’s vast and vibrant landscape.

Challenges are all over, but despite these, patients and families are served.

At the recent Palliative Care Conference, Sister Kash Raghubar, Head of homecare at Highway Hospice in Durban, reflected on the vital role of collective compassion in caring for the sick, orphaned, and impoverished.
She explained that the foundation of compassionate communities lay in cultivating respectful, trust-based relationships among healthcare providers, patients, their families, and those within the broader community.
Sister Raghubar highlighted the economic challenges many of their patients face, especially those from rural areas or without access to private care. Despite these hardships, she emphasised that hope lay in community networking, with volunteers, churches, and neighbours stepping forward to provide care, wellness checks, and dignity where systems often fell short.
