Men urged to prioritise their health
KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli has encouraged men to prioritise their health as the province observes Men's Health Month.
Ntuli made the call during the launch of Men’s Health Month, which included a law enforcement parade held in Durban on Monday.
Men’s Health Month seeks to engage men on issues they face. The KwaZulu-Natal provincial government also uses the month to create awareness on the scourge of gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF).

“Let us use this Men’s Health Month as an opportunity to prioritise our health, break down barriers, and foster a culture of well-being,” the Premier urged men.
Ntuli said Men’s Health Month will see health screenings taking place across the province, which will cover essential aspects of men’s health.
Outlining the programmes and initiatives that KwaZulu-Natal has earmarked to commemorate during Men’s Health Month, Ntuli said the initiative holds a significant relevance for the province, as it focuses on raising awareness about the health challenges confronting men, and advocates for early detection and treatment of diseases.
Ntuli said throughout July, the province will organise health screenings, which will cover essential aspects of men’s health, including blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes, and prostate health.
“We will collaborate with local clinics, community centres, and workplaces to ensure that men have easy access to these screenings. The awareness campaigns will emphasise the importance of regular check-ups and early intervention,” Ntuli said.
The month will also include awareness campaigns, including mental health support, physical fitness and active lifestyle, nutrition and healthy eating, and fatherhood and family support.
Ntuli said mental health is a critical component of overall well-being, noting that men often face unique challenges in seeking help for mental health issues.
Ntuli said during the month, targeted campaigns will be launched to destigmatise the discussions on mental health.
He said counselling services, including helplines and support groups specifically tailored for men, will be expanded.
The Premier encouraged men to reach out and share their struggles and seek professional assistance when needed.
“We will promote physical fitness through community events, sports programmes, and recreational activities. Let us encourage men to engage in regular exercise, whether it is walking, jogging, or participating in team sports.
“We will celebrate responsible fatherhood and encourage positive parenting practices. Workshops, seminars, and parenting classes will equip fathers with essential skills to support their children’s emotional and physical development,” Ntuli said.
He said the province will also collaborate with schools, workplaces, and local markets to raise awareness about balanced diets, and further provide practical guidance on healthy eating, emphasising the importance of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. – SAnews.gov.za

Call to educate public on national budget process
The National Treasury has called on stakeholders and provinces to collaborate with it in hosting events to educate the public on the budget process.
This comes after the National Treasury hosted, for the first time, a successful post-Budget engagement during Youth Month that involved unpacking the national budget to children.
The engagement was in collaboration with the Western Cape Commissioner for Children (WCCC).
The main objective of the outreach programme was to raise awareness about national budget information that is readily available, outline the budget process and to develop a child-centred budget document titled the Coolkid’s Guide to the Budget.
“Public participation in the budget process is essential for transparent and accountable governance. In February, the Minister of Finance tables the National Budget, which includes allocations for children and the youth across various national and provincial departments.
“By involving the public, especially young people, the government fosters inclusive development, builds trust in its resource allocation, and ensures that the budget process is accessible and understandable,” National Treasury said on Friday.
The Children’s Budget Engagement targeted children between the ages of 13 to 17 (Grade 8 – 12 learners).
The engagement took place virtually on Wednesday 26 June 2024 while the nation commemorated the month of the African Child as well as Youth Month.
National Treasury officials presented to the children, who in turn engaged and asked questions that were responded to.
Key focus areas included: how the National Treasury makes sure that the budget is spent effectively on realising child rights, the focus of children’s involvement in the decision-making process, and the prioritisation of children regarding Early Childhood Development (ECD), social welfare, health care, and quality education.
“The National Treasury discussed these topics using creative and colourful infographics and mind-maps that made budget education fun and interactive. The WCCC also developed products displaying their understanding of the budget process; these included a budget recipe poster, and a budget story in English, Afrikaans, Xhosa, and South African sign language.
“The Commissioner for Children commended the National Treasury for making the efforts to make budget information available in a child-centred and child-friendly manner. One of the child government monitors said that they love the layout of the pages of the Children’s Budget, they love that it is easy to understand, entertaining, and makes them look forward to learning about the budget.
“The National Treasury invites other stakeholders and provinces to collaborate in hosting similar engagement events to reach groups that are not necessarily aware of or catered for in the budget documents.
The children’s products can be found on all National Treasury and WCCC social media platforms. The Coolkid’s Guide to the Budget is also available on the National Treasury website (www.treasury.gov.za). –SAnews.gov.za
