REPORT:
The Alexandra men’s Champ Camp took place on the banks of the Vaal River at the Takwasa Camp facility near Parys. Eighty-nine men arrived in two busses on a cold Friday evening not knowing what to expect. It was after dark when the busses arrived and the men were ushered into a hall and divided into six groups each with a dedicated Outward Bound instructor.
“SOMETIMES WE AS MEN ONLY APPRECIATE EACH OTHER WHEN WE ACQUIRE MATERIAL THINGS, WE DON’T REALLY HONOUR EACH OTHER ON GOOD DEEDS.”
“AS A MAN THINK SMART, THINK TOWARDS THE FUTURE AND THE YOUNG ONES WHO ARE GROWING UP. ”
“I WAS ALSO BORN IN A SITUATION WHERE OUR DAD USED TO BEAT US. I GREW UP HATING MY DAD. I GOT TO A POINT WHERE I COULDN’T TRUST HIM.”
“IF I WERE TO CHOOSE MY FATHER, WHO WOULD I CHOOSE?”
