South Africa's (SA) Deputy Minister of Social Development, Ganief Hendricks has lauded the mentorship programme of "What About the Boys initiative".
Hendricks was speaking at the State of The Boy Child 3-year impact report launch that took place at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, in SA. The initiative seeks to influence the boy child through edutainment programmes, emotional intelligence education and digital platforms, as the southern Africa nation grapples with the scourge of Gender Based Violence and a high unemployment rate among boys.
