Valentine’s Day is all sweetness and delight, but it certainly doesn’t come cheap, to the point that South African men have hatched a hilarious escape plan that’s currently going viral across local social media.
International guests representing the British delegation have arrived early for check in. They were received by myself and a few other members of the NEC’s portfolio organising committee. #MensConference #MensValentinesConference #MensConference2019 pic.twitter.com/RInyC5v6Wt

Of course, the conference is a total fiction – but this is not preventing scores of South African men from posting reminders, invitations and even itineraries across social media.
A look at the cleverly coordinated dates tells you that the conference is conveniently scheduled to take place over Valentine’s – meaning those attending will unfortunately have to skip on the day’s activities like expensive candle lit dinner dates and gifts.
