Mapantsula Stand Up For Behavioural Change

Over the weekend, the National Pantsula Association in partnership with the United Nations (UN) Women and Girls Affairs, hosted a behavioural change exercise at the Old Naledi grounds.

Speaking to The Monitor on the sidelines of the event, Zola Original Pantsulas' secretary, Ntsima Ntsima said the purpose of the event was to sensitise the people in Townships (or Kasis) about social ills such as violence against women and girls and to encourage them to test for HIV/AIDS. He said the Pantsula subculture is often associated with criminal activities, and as such they had to play a role in the society, by organising the event themed Unearthing Behavioural Change For 2018 and Beyond. “Our culture is often associated with criminal activities, but we also have a role to play.
