ENCOURAGES men not to die inside but to open up about the problems they are facing in families, at work and in love, Mr. Nkululeko Khanyi, who is organizing a conference to discuss the increase in the number of men who commit suicide.
Khanyi, who is from Phongolo by birth, is the founder of the Don’t Kill Yourself organization, which has been in existence for many years.
He told It is a country At the weekend that he started this organization after he was with her until two times he tried to kill himself because of the different problems he was facing in his life.
He stated that there will be a big conference for men and where he said that there will be a wide discussion on various problems which are at the core of men’s suicide.
He said the conference will be held on July 25 in Midrand and where he said he expects men from different parts of the country to come.
”The truth is that many men who want to kill themselves do not want to talk about the problems they are facing, but rather they are patient even if it is no longer appropriate for them to do so. This causes us to have men who die inside and end up choosing to kill themselves, which is not good at all,” he said.
He said the time has now come for something to be done to deal with this scourge which he said appears to be a termite that eats men silently.
”We must now encourage men to speak up if there is a problem they are facing. It is not right at all that they just keep quiet because that ends up having a negative reward,” he explained.
In general, he said one of the problems that cause men to end up killing themselves is money problems.
”It is important that men sit down and be educated about financial matters. I believe this can make a big difference to them,” he explained.
Some men said that they could not stand the pain of breaking up with the people they love.
He said that it has become commonplace to hear disturbing news that there is a man who has chosen to cheat on himself because of romantic relationships.
He revealed that it has been very sad at times when he has seen a male police officer shoot a young woman and then she also shoots herself. ”You just see clearly that the problem facing men is really big,” he explained.
For more information about this conference, he said they can call him on this number: 082 047 6444.
