At the Activate Men's Indaba, we had the privilege of sitting down with three incredible gentlemen to discuss the critical need for spaces where men can truly open up about their struggles. 

In this podcast Bongani Mabusa, Bongani Jele and Rammolotsi Sothoane, 
explore why events like this are vital for fostering vulnerability and emotional expression amongst men, especially in a world that often expects men to hide their pain. Through honest conversation, we acknowledged that many men carry heavy burdens in silence, and it’s essential to create safe environments where they can share, heal, and connect with others who understand.

This dialogue is about breaking down the stigma around vulnerability and empowering men to embrace their emotions as a strength, not a weakness.
