A 2013 statistic revealed that in South Africa men heading households are still in the majority. However, the number of women breadwinners is on the increase and only a third of the country’s children live with both parents.  A survey by insurance company Aviva suggested up to 1.4 million men in Britain were their children’s main carers and the number of men living as househusbands while their wives go to work has tripled in 15 years. Many believe that one of the reasons behind the trend is that society’s attitudes to the roles of men and women have changed. In this conversation, Lerato Mbele speaks to Dr Bianca Parry, Programme Director for Research at the Centre for Mediaation in Africa and Nhlanhla Zwane, a relationship coach about how to navigate the power dynamics in a relationship where the female spouse is the breadwinner and the other is a house husband, due to varying circumstances – whether it is by choice or because of economic and employment challenges.
