Ligwalagwala FM recently hosted an event aimed at facilitating a dialogue about men's mental health

The societal expectation of suppressing emotions and avoiding discussing mental health issues can negatively impact the mental health of men, potentially resulting in elevated suicide rates.

”We want to allow men to express themselves without failure, without any fear, so we want them to get together to network, to assist, to support each other to discuss men’s issues. Research has proven that most of the challenges and problems we have in our communities, society and our families. Men are always involved so we want them to come here and express themselves hence we call the event Phefumula Ndvodza,” he says.
