Dr Manala Makua, chief director of women’s, maternal and reproductive health in the national health department, revealed the shocking numbers this week,The 14,176 girls who fell pregnant between April 2017 and March 2021 were technically raped as the age of consent in SA for boys and girls is 16, according to legislation.
Parliament’s portfolio committee on women, youth and people with disabilities has condemned the impregnation of young girls and teenagers. It wants the perpetrators to face the full might of the law, TimesLIVE reported a week ago. Committee chairperson Nonhlanhla Ncube-Ndaba said the impregnation of young girls was another form of gender-based violence that required urgent government attention.
Ncube-Ndaba was reacting to statistics from the health department which revealed that at least 23,000 girls between the ages of 10 and 19 fell pregnant between April 2020 and March 2021. The health department said of the reported pregnancies, around 3,000 girls opted to terminate their pregnancies.

Pedophilic disorder is characterized by recurring, intense sexually arousing fantasies, urges, or behavior involving children (usually 13 yrs or younger). Pedophiles may be attracted to young boys & girls, or both, & they may be attracted only to children or to children & adults.
Bitcoin is something worth talking about, I decided to give it a try when i witnessed how it lifted my friend to his financial hierarchy.I invested $1500 worth of bitcoin and with the current increase in bitcoin price I got $17,200 just in a week with the help of ambrey_marcus.
So there are no plans to arrest the rapists?
The problem start when the law is not enforced,where is protection of children,once the law is lenient then all hell break loose,advantage is taken on poor school kids,statuary rape means what? Protection has to start with tougher laws and proper punishment
And as a result, how many rapists and pedophiles have been reported to the police and arrested over the past 4 years?
Worse is still to come as long as u don't teach our kids fundamental basic life skills like how to harvest water but sex education. Everyone would like to experiment what they are tought at school.
