As International Men’s Day approaches, it is evident that conversations surrounding men’s issues remain at an alarmingly low level. The persistently rising statistics on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in South Africa have emerged as a critical concern amongst men, leaving communities deeply troubled by the absence of clear solutions to address this pressing issue.
Despite the urgent need for dialogue and action, there is a deliberate cause aimed at addressing the many challenges faced by men and boys. International Men’s Day provides a timely platform to shed light on these issues and foster a more inclusive conversation that can lead to meaningful change.
Social entrepreneur and devoted father, TT MBHA, has embarked on a commendable mission to spearhead the ‘AMATYMA’ wellness network, a platform dedicated to addressing various wellness issues impacting men. In a society where men are often perceived as impassive and withdrawn, the prevailing notion of sensitive men being labelled as weak remains a persistent challenge.
TT MBHA, recognizing the pressing need for change, has taken it upon himself to dismantle these stereotypes and create an environment where men can openly discuss their struggles and learn from one another. Through candid discussions about the harsh realities of being a man, MBHA aims to foster a supportive community that empowers men to prioritize their physical, mental and financial well-being.
The AMATYMA wellness network serves as a beacon of hope for men seeking a safe space to share their experiences and seek guidance on their personal journeys. By dismantling societal norms that hinder open communication.
As International Men’s Day approaches, attendees can expect an engaging and informative wellness experience that will focus on the physical, mental and financial wellness of men.
The lineup will include well known public figures such as Adbul Khoza, Nhlanhla Lux, Mzwandile Ngubeni, Siphesihle Vazi, Eric Macheru, Simphiwe Majola and William Lehong. A notable addition to the lineup, is the Minister of Social Development, Lindiwe Zulu, underscoring the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing men’s social development issues on a national scale. Well renowned medium and life coach Taz Singh will also be present to speak about mental wellness and offer some readings.
The Amatyma “Suits and Sneakers Men’s Only Themed Experience” promises to be a transformative event, providing a platform for open dialogue and practical solutions surrounding the well-being of men in South Africa. Through engaging discussions and interactive sessions, participants will leave with valuable tools to enhance their physical, mental, and financial wellness.
Lastly, it is very encouraging to see corporate partners such as Clicks Bronation, Proudly South African, Brand South Africa, TTMbha Financial Services, Standard Bank, The Star & Isolezwe Newspapers, Soweto TV, House of Decorum, Suavity Collection rally behind an important social cause aimed at addressing the wellness of all single, married, divorced and widowed men in South Africa.
