The Mighty Men’s Conference gets underway at the Athlone Stadium today.
An estimated 30,000 men are
expected to gather to discuss ways to curb gang violence plaguing Cape Town
communities. Author and former inmate turned Pastor, Ivor Swarts, will also be
in attendance.
He stresses the necessity for
men to take responsibility and step up instead of participating in gang
activities.
Swarts said “To get 30,000 men
together on the Cape Flats is already a miracle because we know that men, they
have some sort of resistance towards opening up to say enough is enough, more
must be done. We as men have to step up; we have to get our act together.”
