GBV addressed through music in Matholesville
“We decided to host the event in Matholesville because of the crime and violence that we normally hear about in the area."
The artistic expression called music could be very loud sometimes. As a result it can attract attention easily, influence opinions, and shape ideologies.
Most importantly, music can heal, break down barriers, assist the needy, and even promote the protection of human rights.
Saturday, November 6 saw PMC Artist Management organise a Maskandi Music Diski Campaign against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) as part of their efforts to fight this shocking reality for so many women in South Africa.
The host on the day was Mphuthumi Magabitshana, also known as the Abaphuthumi Maskandi Group, who is based in Matholesville and signed under PMC Artist Management.
“We decided to host the event in Matholesville because of the crime and violence that we normally hear about in the area.
“We believe that soccer and music can unite people from different walks of life, and it’s easy to convey the message through edutainment.
“We aim to alleviate crime by keeping the youth busy with sports and arts,” said PMC Artist Management CEO Akhona Ndindwa.
Based on the success of their recent event in Matholesville, they are planning to host more events of this nature every month, said Akhona.
