'Give Fathers A Fighting Chance'

Giving the keynote address at the International Day of the Family under the theme "Father and Families: Responsibilities and Challenges" at this South East District village last week, former First Lady Olebile Masire said fathers have a duty to support and strengthen the status of the family.

"Fathers should help mothers raise children by supporting them with education, good health and other social needs," she said, acknowledging that some fathers have demonstrated commitment in this regard.
