In recent months people have been talking about the term “BLESSER”. The term allegedly originated when several young women posted pictures of themselves shopping overseas, driving expensive cars or wearing expensive clothing.These women would then be blessed on social media. The phenomenon has gone viral, with many young women looking for older men to sponsor their expensive lifestyles. But the men, some of whom are married, may be blessing more than one woman. So in drawing to a close “Youth Month” we want to discuss this phenomenon and find out what really is the mind-set of a blesser and blessee.
To talk to us about this we are joined by:
1. Ms Thato Chidarikire : Department of Health Director: HIV Prevention

3. Mr Dumisani Rebombo : Sonke Gender Justice Manager: One Man Can campaign
