Episode Synopsis

Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi welcomes Mr. Jeff Cele from Fathers Matter to discuss how fathers can be actively present in their children's lives even if they do not live with them. Fathers Matter is an organization that promotes active, equal, and non-violent involvement of fathers and male caregivers in the lives of children. The conversation emphasizes the importance of consistent communication, emotional support, and shared responsibilities. Fathers are encouraged to engage meaningfully through visits, calls, participating in milestones, and providing guidance and nurturing regardless of physical proximity. The organization advocates for breaking traditional norms, fostering healthy father-child relationships, and supporting communities to recognize the vital role of all father figures, including biological, adoptive, and social fathers.
