Rola Pelo heals broken souls in Burgersfort
Several speakers addressed the community about various topics at the Rola Pelo Gathering in Burgersfort. The next event will be held at Moses Mabotha Hall in Ga-Nkwana on October 18.
Author, attorney, philanthropist and multi-hyphenate entrepreneur Nthabiseng Ngoepe hosted the Rola Pelo Gathering at the Thaba Moshate Hotel Casino and Convention Resort in Burgersfort on September 6.
The event was earmarked to combat mental health and the abuse of men and women, and to heal broken hearts. It was attended by men and women from all corners of Sekhukhune and was sponsored by Thobela FM, Thaba Moshate Hotel and the Ngoepe Foundation. It included speakers of various sectors.
Some of the notable speakers were Khutso Malete, Mohube Masha of the Kgoro Men’s Forum, Kedibone Matuludi of the Preach and Reach Movement, an NPO in Madiseng, and Pr Frans Ngoepe of God’s Word at Work Ministries. Ngoepe is also a social activist for children’s well-being.
Nthabiseng spoke about how people needed to forgive and forget. “For your heart to heal, you need to forgive. In my life, I have attempted suicide on three occasions, but today I have healed from those situations and guide people to speak up about their challenges to overcome them. To the ladies, don’t abuse your men, cook for them and provide all the basics.”
Masha urged men to communicate with specialists or talk among themselves when encountering problems.
“Mental health is a huge concern and we need to talk about it. Men who need guidance and support can simply engage Kgoro Men’s Forum at Mashamothane in Burgersfort. We are available to assist at all times.”
