\u201cWe celebrated this day to recognized and appreciated nine men for their contribution in our community, and they each received certificates,\u201d said Williams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said although IMD was started in 1960, South Africa first celebrated it on 6 December 2008 at the Rabasotho Hall in Thembisa. \u201cClose to 3 000 men from all provinces attended this session,\u201d said Williams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In November 2009 the deputy president of South Africa, Kgalema Mothlante, was the key note speaker at the IMD celebration held at the Orlando Community Hall in Soweto, which was attended by 5 000 men from across Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Allanridge Men\u2019s Forum was the only men\u2019s forum in Lejweleputswa that celebrated International Men\u2019s Day, says Williams. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
