The Abangane Platform is a mental health support group that disseminates information from mental health experts to the general public about various issues on the topic of mental health issues.

The word Abangane is a Ndebele word that means friends. It stems from the idea that the Abangane platform seeks to create a safe place for young people to fully express themselves on the issues affecting them such as unemployment; lack of access to proper recreation access; drugs and substance abuse; unhealthy family dynamics which we believe affect an individual’s mental health drastically.

Their main role is to strive to empower survivors and victim of mental health disorders along with their family members to lead healthier lives.

On account of the silence and general ignorance towards the issue of mental health within the country, the program helps make mental health services more accessible to the youth through vital information that has proved to be scarce in the Zimbabwean culture climate.

Abangane was founded in May 2021 after our Founder Zibusiso Munandi a mental health advocate realized the gap that existed in the Community due to lack of information surrounding Mental Health hence the stigma and discrimination he received because of his own mental health condition leading to the birth of Abangane Platform.
Thursday they have discussions usually have Mental Health expects who delve into various topics around mental health. Also they have referrals to expects for those who want one on one with an expect.

The organization has appointed,reigning Mister Africa International Zimbabwe,Mark Mabwe as one of their brand ambassadors.

Mabwe who is an advocate for, mental health awareness among men in his country and across the continent for men to speak and share their problems.
Has been working hand in hand with other mental health support groups,such as the ‘Boychild Project’ which is headed by Shadel Noble.

Recently every month Zimbabwe has recorded,suicide number of cases that have been committed by men and Abangane along with Mister Africa International Zimbabwe are working together to open up a platform for men to speak out.
