67 years of caring – now it's your turn
For 67 years, Tafta has been a beacon of dignity and hope for older people in Durban.
This Mandela Day, we reflect not only on Nelson Mandela’s 67 years of service – but also on Tafta’s journey. A journey shared with caring and compassionate people like you, who have walked beside us every step of the way.
Just as Madiba gave of himself to build a better South Africa, we invite YOU to give back in honour of both his legacy – and ours.

Rights of older people
Elder Abuse – it’s not always what you think
When we hear the term elder abuse, we often imagine shocking headlines – physical violence or extreme neglect. But the reality is that abuse of older people often happens in quiet, everyday ways.

Holiday fun that doesn’t break the bank – inexpensive activities for grandparents
With many parents today working full time, gran and gramps are often called on to look after children during the school holidays. Older people love to spoil beloved grandchildren – and the holidays are the perfect time for connection, laughter, and creating special memories.

Men’s health – signs older men shouldn’t ignore
When it comes to looking after their health, many men tend to put things off. Whether it’s down to busy lives, a sense of invincibility, or simply not wanting to make a fuss, men often fall behind women in keeping up with routine checkups and screenings.
