ROOTED IN CARE. GROWING TOGETHER.
Our ecosystemMany branches. One purpose.
Mbewu brings healthcare, nourishment, enterprise and community development into one growing ecosystem. Each branch shares a commitment to dignity, access, integrity and community service.
Our foundation
Healthcare
Healthcare is the foundation of Mbewu. Through Kujali House in the Cape Town metropolitan area and the developing Mbewu Clinic in Dikeni (Alice), Eastern Cape, our direction is accessible, person-centred care rooted in each community.
Kujali House is our healthcare hub for both practices. Explore clinical services, meet practitioners and find appointment information there.
Food & nourishment

Growing together
Community & Development
Community service is part of how we work. Our direction brings together outreach, health education, professional mentorship and partnerships that improve access to health and opportunity.
We aim to connect our ventures with the communities they serve, across generations and settings. Education, research collaboration and professional development are areas we want to grow with partners.
Two places. One commitment.
Care shaped by its community
Kujali House and Mbewu Clinic are local expressions of a shared philosophy. Each responds to a different setting, with dignity, access, trust and service at its heart.
An urban healthcare home
In the Cape Town metropolitan area, access to care can be shaped by cost, time, continuity and the challenge of navigating different services. Kujali House in Bellville brings person-centred care and multidisciplinary collaboration into this urban setting, serving individuals, families and workplaces.

- Nourishment and wellbeing
- Connections between food, nutrition and health, developed with partners who understand the communities they serve.
