This country hates our boys
What does it mean to raise boys in a world where they are increasingly misunderstood, underserved, and left behind?
Join us for a powerful and necessary conversation with Dr Mzamo Masito, as he unpacks pressing themes from his latest book, This Country Hates our Men Boys.
Drawing on decades of experience in leadership, behavioural science, and his work with NPO, African Men Care, Mzamo will explore the deep-rooted challenges facing boys and men today, from education and identity to mental health and societal expectations.
This is not just a conversation about men; it's a conversation about families, communities, and the future we are building together.
