The dealings and chronicles of Mma Dimpho

good day, i am blogging and chronicling for Mma Dimpho, a woman who on a daily basis goes to the bus station, displays her medicine on a stall and start consulting her patients who never cease to visit.She comes from Mochudi, roughly 40 km away from Gaborone, Botswana capital.Mma Dimpho was born in 1957 in Mochudi.She has six children and is married.When she grew up, her mother foraged, gathered and collected medicinal plants from the bush.She learned the art of this trade as time went on.Later on, she was taught this craft by her own husband who was hell bent on traditional medicine.Mma Dimpho got consumed into this and in 1983, she set up a stall which is equivalent to a clinic.The plants leaves, branches, barks and roots displayed here are some of medicine species she continually prescribes to her patient.
