Thursday in black is another of our awareness raising events. It is the awareness against domestic violence. We usually do this on our last Thursday before the end of our first term. The care givers like this celebration so much that they now invite their friends and neighbours as well. We had about 500 people who participated in this event this year. It was very interesting to hear from one male member who attended saying, “This should not only be for females’ mom Thokozani, we as males need to participate in such gatherings as well because some of us also stay in an abusive relationships. Maybe next time Phakamisa needs to extend the invitation outside to our communities or run this awareness in our communities”
