“The mission is to create a community of responsible and empathetic young men as the nation’s future fathers and husbands.
“Our thinking is that all men have a role to play against the abuse of women and we need to call out our friends.
“Moreover, we all become guilty of women abuse when we fail to reprimand perpetrators,” he said.
He added that GBV is a serious problem in the community.
“We also targeted students from different backgrounds to represent the demographics of our country and stand in solidarity against the GBV fight.
“We are shaping the future of this great nation.
“The plan is to continue creating awareness around the subject in our townships,” explained Makeke.
