Manned Up Conversations
Manned Up Conversations is a dynamic platform committed to fostering open, honest, and transformative discussions among men from all walks of life. Our mission is to challenge outdated notions of masculinity and provide a safe space where men can freely explore their emotions, experiences, and struggles without fear of judgment.
Through insightful content and interactive dialogue, Manned Up Conversations encourages personal growth, emotional intelligence, and meaningful change in the lives of men across Africa and beyond.
We envision a world where men break free from societal expectations, embracing vulnerability and emotional well-being as strengths rather than weaknesses. By promoting open conversations and a culture of mutual support, we empower men to lead more authentic, fulfilling lives—positively impacting their communities, relationships, and future generations.

Understanding Men's Health with Dr Kabo Ijane
To kick off Men's Health Month we took The Urology Hospital in Hatfield, Pretoria to talk to Dr K Ijane about some of the issues surrounding how men are dealing with the issues of prostate cancer and the process involved when seeking help. He explains the relationship between GPs and other doctors who are part their network in providing help and referrals to professionals who can offer specialized help when needed. We also speak about the need to spread information about men's health issues and make it accessible for people to know when, where and how they can seek help for their ailments before the problem becomes uncontainable. Dr Ijane unpacks the need to know your family's health history and why regular testing and checkups are better than waiting too long before finding out you might have a chronic issue that runs in the family.
We end off by discussing sexual performances enhancers and it might be better idea to live a healthier life, eat well and exercise to improve your sexual health.
Dr Kabo Ijane, Urologist and board member of The Urology Hospital, is the first African robotic surgeon who trained both locally and in Europe, he has encouraged his peers to embrace robotic surgery which is experiencing dramatic global growth due to the success of its minimally invasive technology.
