Fight against GBV should start at grassroots level

THE men folk in South Africa should hang their heads in shame at the statistics that we see on gender-based violence in our country as they go up and up! Where have we gone so wrong as a nation?

We have traditional initiation schools...what do they actually teach the young men going into adulthood? Nothing if the stats have anything to say. We have had all sorts of movements and ads but nothing changes.

Do we remember the Charlize Theron advertisement where she said “where are all the real men out there”? We never found them!

We now have the Purple movement being bandied around and it calls for “justice, unity and change”.
