We want them to stay away from substance abuse,\u201d said Lugongolo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Lugongolo\u2019s words, young men are left behind in most cases while all the emphasis is on the opposite gender. According to him, they also discovered that most young men commit crimes because they have nothing to do while some come from broken families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost of the young men who&nbsp;attended the event were between the ages of 17 and 25. As a foundation, we are trying to create a safe space for them by keeping them away from the streets and creating a platform to speak out,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lugongolo said they aim to visit each area and be able to find out their challenges. \u201cWe had young men from Philippi, Gugulethu, Nyanga, Crossroads. So, we are planning&nbsp;to visit them in their specific areas. We want to work with them in different&nbsp;groups,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lubabalo Zonke (19) from Browns Farm described the initiative as educational. He said this kind&nbsp;of programme keeps them away from wrongdoings things. \u201cI learn more about how to conduct myself. We were also encouraged to focus more on our studies than being involved in gangsters and drugs,\u201d said Zonke. He urged his peers to be involved&nbsp;in the local organisations in their areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Empowering young men to be a better version of themselves, is
