Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe says International Men’s Day should encourage men to stand up to be counted in the fight against abuse of women and children, plus in fighting poverty and all other social ills.

Motlanthe addressed a gathering in Orlando, Soweto, today.

He encouraged men to play their part in the battle against HIV and Aids by promoting condom use and by opposing sexual violence. Motlanthe says men should live their lives as if every day is international men’s day.
