FutureTalk: The lost boys of South Africa – reclaiming a generation at risk
March 13 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
South Africa’s young men are in crisis. Boys are dropping out of school at rates 10-15% higher than girls. Over 60% grow up without their fathers, and as youth unemployment soars past 40%, many are left without purpose, guidance, or opportunity.
This is not just a statistic. It’s a national emergency.
Join us for an urgent FutureTalk discussion:
Date: Thursday, 13 March 2025
Time: 18h00 – 19h30
Online: Live on YouTube & LinkedIn
Hosted by Sizwe Nxasana, CEO and Founder of Sifiso Learning Group, with special guest Dr Mzamo Masito (Founder, African Men Care), this discussion will unpack:
- Why boys are falling behind in school and how we can intervene
- The devastating impact of absent fathers and how to rebuild strong male role models
- How to create pathways to employment for young men in a shifting economy
- The urgent need to redefine masculinity in today’s world
This is more than a conversation. It’s a call to action.
