By Sicebise Msengana

 

As South Africa continues to navigate the complex landscape of a post-apartheid society, it finds itself at a critical juncture amid both local and global challenges. The transition to a new democracy in 1994 was marked by great optimism and ambition, yet as we move further into the 21st century, the nation confronts a plethora of policy challenges that must be addressed to achieve lasting progress and social equity.

POSITIVE POLYGYNY/POLYGAMY AND ITS BENEFITS TO SOCIETY

By Sicebise Msengana

Who convinced us that polygamy is problematic than monogamy?

POLYGYNY is less dramatic, less divorce rate, little to no single mothers in such communities, eliminates competition between women, division of labor to reduce stress, no children born out of wedlock, far less cheating on the part of the man. Most importantly, it's not about a man having many wives, but every woman having a husband and therefore, reduces the excess number of single women who will otherwise never find a husband.
