The chairperson of the Eastern Cape chapter of the SA Men's Sector, Lulamile Ntshingwa, has called on all men to put a stop to rape and violence against women and children.
"Men in the Eastern Cape have resolved to take the issue of gender violence very seriously. So, on this International Men's Day we converge here to make a statement, a statement that says men are going to stop violence against women and children, men are going to stop rape," he said.
