THE INTERVIEW CAM: Thank you for joining Collective Action Magazine. In this interview, we'll be discussing male trauma due to domestic violence and abuse, which is a pressing issue in our nation. There is a lot of silence and trolling surrounding it. We have invited you to help us unpack this because you have personally gone through this experience and have openly spoken about its impact on your life. As a member of Matrix Men and representing many men in this space, you will also shed light on what's really happening on the ground. But before we begin the interview, I'd like to share a quote from the Centre of Justice, Peace, and Human Rights. They wrote an article on male domestic violence in South Africa and Nigeria, stating that anxiety, depression, fear, post-traumatic stress, and post-traumatic stress disorder are some of the impacts of male domestic violence. We have witnessed a significant increase in male suicides in South Africa, with it being ranked as the second-highest male suicide rate in the world in 2020. Unfortunately, the situation has not improved. These are some of the underlying issues we want to address today. We aim to have an enlightening conversation while also raising awareness of the impact this is having on our society.
Before we dive in, we would like to know more about you. Who is Hungani Ndlovu?
