In Episode 2 of our Men’s Conference series, Thando and Msizi sit down with Tumisho Masha, Proverb and Neo Mothopeng for an honest, powerful and deeply personal conversation about fatherhood in South Africa. They unpack how their upbringing shaped the fathers they are today, how they navigate raising children in a modern SA context, and the different parenting styles they’ve developed along the way. From emotional connection and discipline, to changing generational patterns and building healthy father–child relationships — nothing is off the table. What does it mean to be a present father in South Africa today? How do men parent differently from how they were raised? What does the relationship with their children look like? Why do their approaches differ so much? Get ready for the ride of your life with Thando Thabethe, Matt Flax, and Lerato Höffele every Monday to Friday from 3–6pm.
