Men want maternity leave

EDITOR - I feel that there is a provision which should have been incorporated in the draft constitution of the need to grant maternity leave to men.

I believe men must be present during their wives’ delivery stage and one month before and after giving birth in order to help and comfort the mother as well as care for the infant. Parental care must be provided by both parents not one. Also, it must be obligatory that both spouses get tested for HIV/AIDS during pregnancy. – Concerned Dad, Bulawayo
