#ThrowbackThursday – 25 September 1987

The Herald goes back, way back, to 25 September 1987, for this week’s #ThrowbackThursday.

It’s #ThrowbackThursday and the Herald went back in time to 25 September 1987 to see what was in the news.

At the time, the Herald reported on the front page about FAMSA, a partially state-subsidised organisation which specialises in marriage guidance and counselling, which was looking for voluntary counsellors on the West Rand.

To catch up on the topic, we spoke to our local expert, Dr Annelize Naudé, a Psychotherapist/ Socio-emotional therapist/ Social Worker, who said there is still a need for marriage guidance and family counselling 32 years later.
