The first bureau for Marriage Counseling in South Africa was established in 1948 in Johannesburg. It became an organization to which people with marriage problems could turn to for help.

A National Family and Welfare Conference, with family problems and disintegration as the main theme, was held in Johannesburg in 1954. Dr. Mace and his wife Vera were invited to this occasion. After this conference the South African National Council for Marriage Guidance and Counseling was established on the 6th of October 1954.

Over the years the South African National Council for Marriage Guidance and Counseling changed their name to The Family and Marriage Society of South Africa and is now known as Families South Africa (FAMSA)

FAMSA is a non-profit Organization and depends on donations from the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, the Department of Social Development, the business sector and public.
