Breaking local news in Boksburg
The collapse of the family structure and constant negativity toward younger men prompted the Wattville Men’s Forum to organise an event on International Men’s Day on November 19 to address issues faced by men in the community.
“This leads to the collapse of the family structure and you may find them losing respect at home because they cannot provide. They then resort to going to the drinking holes and a lot of them drink instead of trying to solve their problems,” said Machaba.“The children grow up in that environment and go astray into drugs, hookah pipes, drinking and everything not good for their future.
“We are looking at getting them economically involved in various projects around the community. The plan is to get the skills development centre up and running because many of our people are under-skilled. It is not only about men; it is about encompassing the entire community and uplifting the boy child,” Machaba added.
