Mandeni, 30 August 2024 \u2013 The KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Rev. Thulasizwe Buthelezi, today launched a Gender-Based Violence (GBV) awareness programme in the Macambini area under the Mandeni Local Municipality. The event was attended by members of the KZN Provincial House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders, including Inkosi Mathaba and Inkosi Sithole, the Deputy Chairperson of the KZN Provincial House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In his remarks, Inkosi Sithole emphasised the need for a restoration of values within our communities and urged all sectors to actively participate in raising children and young people in the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The event also celebrated the strides made by the Thumumlilo Foundation, in its programmes focused on the ilembe district aimed at inspiring young people to pursue education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cllr Thobani Shandu, the Mayor of the Ilembe District, called upon all men to play their part in the fight against GBV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In his remarks MEC Buthelezi acknowledged the role of amakhosi in advancing and protecting the rights of women and children. He also recognised the Thumumlilo Foundation for empowering young women through education and acknowledged Ukhozi FM presenter Mroza for her role among the youth. Additionally, MEC Buthelezi announced the adoption of the Thumumlilo Foundation, further supporting its mission to inspire and educate young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    MEC Buthelezi highlighted the newly launched Women Advancement Fund, introduced by the Premier earlier today, and encouraged women in the Ilembe District to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He also called for the restoration of family values in communities, led by traditional leaders who are the custodians of Zulu customs and cultures. The MEC announced that customs and practices such as isibaya samadoda, where young men are mentored and taught about leadership, will be promoted. The department intends to partner with amakhosi on engagements like this to engage communities and raise awareness about gender-based violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The event marks a step towards addressing and combating Gender-Based Violence in the region, fostering a safer and more supportive community for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
