The Wife actor Mondli Makhoba who plays the taxi boss Nkosana Zulu will host a real men’s conference. What exactly is a Men’s Conference? An event where men from different backgrounds sit together and discuss serious issues. Issues troubling men and society at large, another critical factor will be coming up with plausible solutions.
Mondli is a prominent actor who’s acted on Uzalo, Generations The Legacy and many more. He is very respectable, and having him host such an event, will give it traction. With his voice and persona, he comes across as a natural-born leader.
Men’s Conference history and humour in Mzansi
A Mzansi Men’s Conference was initially a joke on the socials. As the joke persisted online with people drafting agendas and more, some people suggested the event to be an actual thing. Mzansi men decided that 13 February to 15 February would be the days to hold the conference annually. Each year, the men would disappear from the 13th to the 15th to avoid buying Valentine’s Day gifts for their women.
It is no secret that South African men are battling serious demons; a place for them to sit down and talk is nothing slight.
Issues to be addressed in the conference
Men can sit down and speak about their roles as fathers and partners in romantic relationships. Men can also advise each other on business, career guidance and the jobs they can do to elevate themselves. One of the other biggest things men should talk about is the reproductive health of males. Mental health issues are a significant factor that needs to be tackled, and we’re confident it will be spoken about.
