The 3rd State of South Africa’s Fathers Report (SOSAF 2024) was launched on 4 February 2025, with contributions from UCT Psychology Masters students and Dr Mandisa Malinga. This report, edited by Tawanda Makusha (of the Africa Health Research Institute) Mandisa Malinga (University of Cape Town), Wessel van den Berg (Equimundo: Centre for Masculinities and Social Justice), and Kopano Ratele (Stellenbosch University), features contributions from two postgraduate students from the Psychology department at UCT. Khumo Aphane, who has completed her Masters in Social Sciences Research (Psychology), contributed a case study on the experiences of social fathers in Khayelitsha, while Siyabonga Mbobo who completed his MA in Psychology and is currently pursuing his PhD in the department, contributed a chapter alongside Dr Mandisa Malinga (one of the editors of the report), focusing on the impact of socio-economic context on fathering and the need to shift away from definitions of fatherhood that centre financial provision, towards promoting an integrated approach to fathering that sees fathers engaging in all roles including nurturing and providing the physical and emotional care necessary for their own and their children’s well-being.
