The lack of responsibility is sad. You cannot want access without the responsibility. Any parent who does not want to take care of their children,is not a parent. Calling parenting, materialistic construction is crazy! A child eats. Needs education and needs to be clothed. We are seriously drifting from what being a parent is….we are losing the plot. The village doesn’t exist. When a mother and her family take accountability whilst the other party doesn’t do anything. Father’s families do the same. They don’t encourage their sons to do the right thing!
Yho, these stats are disheartening, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around why it's happening. But blaming it on capitalism and colonialism seems like a bit of a stretch to me. I mean, at some point, don't parents need to step up and take responsibility? I agree with Menzi, being a dad isn't just about the stuff you can provide; love doesn't cost a thing, right? And with *SASSA* around to help those who are struggling, so there's really no excuse for not being there for your kid, in my opinion.
I wonder why these fathers are not forced to have a relationship and monitored by social service dept. What men are these neglecting your own and raise other men's children???
If a man doesn't have money and broken up with the mother of his child then that man can never have a stable relationship with his child not in South Africa.
As long as woman think they are the victims this behaviour will continue to persist as it’s only when we speak truth that we can effectively solve this problem.
Mothers are also to blame!!! my best friend has a child with a woman who refuses him to see his child because she doesn't get the money she wants, and this poor man lost his job... so dont just blame the fathers, LOOK at the mothers too!!😠😠
Drizzle drizzle, good to hear men have checked out without trying to fight. If you have to fight to see your children leave & move on. Don't let women use children to fight you, withdraw completely. A man will always be blamed in today's society including here in the media. She's always a victim.

A lot of people don't like to take responsibility for their own failings , so they find something else to blame it on.
What if you dont want the kid😂😂
Just selfish and nothing else
Lost society
The result of poor sexual behaviour
What but u managed to make a child😂😂😂😂😂
I don't have a child
Both parties are responsible

Agree
Did you even listen to the entire discussion? It doesn't seem like you appreciate the depth, complexity, and nuance unpacked by the guests.
Why should a man be forced to father kids he doesn't want when women can't be forced to keep a pregnancy they don't want
Blame the grants
Love is very important thing in this world it’s go with respect nothing to loose. But is a lot to benefit to our society

You are 100% correct
The mothers put higher demand for money , collude with court officials, men do under duress which negate the relationship
Spoke like a real useless deadbeat.🤔 😂😂😂
