It's May 29th!!!! You made it to Election day for South Africa's 2024 elections. Is your voting decision today out of guilt? Fear? Trauma? Pride? Disillusionment?

I just realised that as a Black woman, I've heard more South African Black men losing their lives in the past few years than ever before. Whether it's of circumstances out of their control or of them ending their own futures, as it gets closer and closer to home, passion for the Black community means we should evaluate the role of depression in the life of a Black man.
