Free State Men’s Sector
On 15 May Maluti-A-Phofung Local Municipality commemorated the International Family Day at Thaba Bosiu Tribal Hall with different stakeholders. Free State Men sector was represented as it had to deliver a talk about the role of men in ensuring stability in families.
The Men sector speech focused on “Men as good role models to a boy-child”. Delegates were reminded that most children including boys grow up without a father figure in their lives and turn to lookup to anyone representing a father and copy all sorts of behaviours from them.
