With the high levels of teen pregnancies experienced last year,her statement is spot-on irrespective of who fathered these girls' children. This country has become so liberal that anything that addresses the rot in communities is okay if it comes from liberal NGO's/individuals!

I blame lazy journalism,She raised alot of valid points but because we live a era of journalism where yall only care about nunbers, certain things will sensationalized to gain readers.Journalism has gone to the dogs

Best advise a mother could give to a girl child. Well done MEC 👏

My MEC...she has never been shy to say things as they are.....

This is a parental advice I don’t see the big fass about it

That’s good advice. Why and who is criticising her? That’s valid parental advice

She meant no harm. I get the gist of her message.

Yah bt SAPoliceService must look for way to arrest those who make sex whith them for money

Given the high levels of pregnancies at schools, it needs to be said

That’s the level of ministers in our country today maybe they need to go back to school and open their hearts serve the people and close their pockets

But its true nje.

No ethics from the Anc as usual.

This seems to be more about peer pressure to be cool and sexy. Empowered girls can have positive perceptions of sex and prioritize their education. Teaching girls to embrace their bodies, feel comfortable talking about sex & KNOW that they can get what they want through education

🤣🤣🤣🤣 She has a valid point though
