Six-thousand girls in 24 villages in the North West province, are either pregnant or have given birth – some as young as 11 years old.Setlagole village at the Ratlou Local Municipality in the province has recorded a spike in statutory rapes.
Seventeen-year-old Resego Dibetso , is one of the many trapped in the situation. She left school in Grade 7 after she was impregnated by an older man, who has since disappeared. “I gave birth when I was just 15 years. I have so many problems. I don’t have ID. My child has no birth certificate, and we are just living by ourselves with no parents.”
Last week, the North West Childrens’ Parliament in Mahikeng, resolved to seek the National Assembly’s urgent intervention. Speaker of the Children’s Parliament, Onkametse Boile says, “We are complaining about making back home. We are complaining about our lives not being safe. It’s as if the government has taken account that it doesn’t happen to them and why should they care.”
They love sex ke labo,I'm not surprised
Mara they are taught sex early. This the practical side of it.
Linda_Mtoba 💔💔💔
We all have a role to play in order to solve problems like these. Teachers should teach these learners, not sleep with them. Parents should instill discipline and not Rapetsoa their own children, or that of a relative, neighbour, community, etc.
EFFexplained Northern Nigeria suppose to have their own country because their thinking is too shallow.
11 years something fishy here,I smell rape I mean what does 11 year old know about sex and feelings.anyway how many arrest or leads have been made esp for underage girls😥
Here we need GOD intervention
In 11 years tym haa parents let us be srs n take care of our childrens Pliz No1 is going to care of sm1's child
Sosha falls under North West ayt?
Blame it on poverty 🙄
I am waiting for the worse our hands are tied nothing we can do as parents gorverment must do something about it
This is unacceptable..these kids are manipulated and lack the necessary skills to make proper decisions. The solution is to talk to each of them nicely and ask them to disclose their lovers/baby daddy details.Then lock those ones up for rape...
Only ourselves to blame. You will allways do what you learn and are allowed to do, parenting is a responsibility, and per say, sex also. gofigure
Please report about our culture today and leave other news for tomorrow Respect us atleast once
Where are the parents? What are teachers doing? What happened to the life skill programmes? Government never took Northwest serious Who is sleeping with those kids? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
SouthAfrica
All these problems r solvable, government is jst not serious, they're pretending 2 be solving de matter wen dey actually wnt 2 create tenders & enrich demselves hence de problems always grow. Imagine if an 11 year old goes to clinic & den a statutory rape investigation starts.
-More rights at school & home...without responsibilities. -No spanking SafaSaPheliSizweSimnyama
So what they have right moc government say so to the parents,parents don't have right to make sure that their children don't get pregnant us as parents we have privilege children have rights.
this thing start at schools, teachers date and impregnates young girls and principals keeps it under the carpet. A teacher who date a leaner must be jailed
They is need for the gvt to stop with the child grant firstly which is making not only young girls irresponsible but adults too. Secondly they should investigate every pregnancy of a minor, let the perpetrators be brought to book. We all know sex with a minor is against the law.
The system of apartheid is paying off
Once something is free it can never be respected. Our country is so blessed we dont have earthquakes hurricanes volcanic eruptions war but we create our own xenophobic attacks, murder rape cop killings etc. I cant fathom how SA will be able to deal with all these crises.
Are they impregnated by Nigerian and other African national. South African has lost direction
I think the main course of this pregnancies is the GovernmentZA and the health department for allowing kids as young as 12 to go on contraception it simply mean they can have sex and not get pregnant! It’s really sad 😔!Contraceptive should be for adults and kids should abstain
I am not surprised. Wait for DBE school condom tenders. Politicians in SA create a crisis, use it to get huge tenders as if to address it, keep crisis on so they keep milking from it for as long as it takes.
Arrest the men who made them pregnant.
Life Skills Teacher must do their work
Rights without consequences...
Probably by their teachers. 😐
Do young girls (or other race) from surbubs get pregnant at an early age?
As long as the government gives social grants this will no stop. Is sex under 16 not rape ?
Can Department of health host a public engagement about preganancy and deseases related to it
Sad
What are they're plans when there's no grands available. How are these children going to look after their baby's and what future do both mother and baby looking forward to. Free sex education, free birth control but still no stopping. Everything in life is not for free!
Thixo, this is bad💔
How many arrests?
One of the causes could be that the north west health dept runs out of contraptive injection most of the time.
Social ills. Mining. Migrant laborers. Lack of parenting. Lack of governance. Lack of discipline. Many children raise themselves. Sad state of the world.
Condoms condoms condoms!
“My body my Choice” kunjan makunje 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is it a surprise!?😡
kindly assist with Seventeen-year-old Resego Dibetso info if possible would like to assist by grocery and clothes 🙏
Go dladiwa ka nama kamo North West and it's very sad knowing that it is possible to avoid this nonsense from happening... On the other hand these girls are still very young for God's sake 😏
Yoh 😨
Thanks God it's not ECWOMENSMAGAZIN Always trending with wrong things.
HealthZA must make birth controll pills easily accessible at schools. Nurses can come once or twice to schools that are affected by high teenage pregnancy. Life Orientation subject at schools proves to be useless so DBE_SA must look at that
There seems 2b the problem with the village elders not these girls, 6000 girls in 24 villages? How does it happen? Some girls as young as 11yrs? These men need 2b arrested. I mean this 2 me is statutory rape!😡
😩😩💔 The saddest headline ever. Imagine what the future holds for these young kids and their kids 💔... POVERTY! UNEMPLOYMENT! CRIME! a mess 🥺
elenaz here is the story I was talking about
MbuyiseniNdlozi Dat is rape, what has happened to parenting? Oh i know....the parents are pne of 10 so that kind of promiscuity is ok because our forefathers did it......WTF it is absolutely shamefull. Our african culture will be the end of us. So many unplanned mouths to feed. Noooooooo
MbuyiseniNdlozi This is not new. We need a subject that teaches awareness in class and govt department that bring community awareness to the following. Housing and its effects. Alcohol and its effects. Crime and its effects. Sex and its effects. A full + exam will help
MbuyiseniNdlozi I am willing to conduct an in-depth empirical study on this matter. There is a lot behind this, that needs to be exposed! We can’t continue with this madness. Any other persons interested in participating in this potential study please DM me. I will need help to collect the data.
Why are political parties and NGO's silent on this ? MYANC Our_DA EFFSouthAfrica SECTION27news r2kcampaign It's abuse of young girls Seems like you need to look pretty to get attention
Bana ba ko gae, Iyoh I've seen them 😭😭😭💔it's like they've made it a competition and the problem arises on the fact that they are from poor backgrounds 😭😭😭😭💔💔
This is sad. This must be condemned at all angles. MyANC_Bophirima MmegiOnline
Vanovhura makumbo vana iwavo
Limnandi iPipi phela 😂
The article never spoke abt rape, yes rape is one of the big problems but our society is failing to teach adequately abt teenage pregnancy. Children are having consensual unprotected sex!!!!
In today's news
Eh
Where are those that commented with praises for those girls who said 'carrot in the fridge and dlala ka what what' grown adults condoning rubbish cause themselves is lost!
Peer pressure is hard to escape, ask us people living in Cities, competing with the Khumalos.
OwaseMzantsi They are competing with Zimbabweans, Mozambqieun etc ladies.
'Omunye Phezukomunye' was a national anthem. What was suppose to happen when girls can murder legally at age 12, it's called legal abortion?
MbuyiseniNdlozi That picture was taken in 2016-2017 at nomathiya high school why do you keep on using it when delivering your stats. I’m doubting this news SABC you need to change your ways😏😏😏.
MbuyiseniNdlozi Yes and we say it is cool.....wake up
MbuyiseniNdlozi Millions are having sex. Stats not bad.
What?! 🤦🏾♂️
Must be Nigerians or Foreigners!! What a way
MbuyiseniNdlozi Hmnn blaming game, whom can we blame in this instance? Teachers, poverty or ill behaviour...
This kids love 🍆 Go to any tarven in the rural communities..it is full of them. Kids by day and adults by night
MbuyiseniNdlozi This is why I say a nurse should go to school with the depo. Every girl must go. They can decide in the room if they take it or not. If everyone has gone in, nobody knows who took it and who didn't. Condoms are free and not being used anyway.
😂 can’t fall pregnant with masturbating
6000 men in 24 villages😡😡😡, like 250 sick older men impregnating children per village!😡😡😡. This sufficiently justifies shutting the province down until such perpetrators are brought to book.
RulzKay1_ Everyone that is below 21 years must be on Contraceptives... This sex education (LO) thing at schools is not working...
They love sex too much
Maan!! Bana ba ba rata thobalano🙅♀️🙆♀️ I am more concerned about their hiv status.
Social Grant yohhh
Clearly 30% passmark isnt for schoolwork alone. Extra curricular (indoor) activities also count
Is it not exaggeration, I'm thinking so.
This is Crisis... it's really bad.
Batswana ba rata 🍆
Government doesn't make children. Where are the parents in upbringing of their boys and girls?
MbuyiseniNdlozi Lets brace ourselves for more, now govt teaches masturbation at age 10 or so. All this communist nonsense & rights are basis of immorality that's destructive ONLY to the Afrikan race, I don't see kids of other races doing this! ANC's destroying us from where apartheid left off.
What about the castrateaman movement, it will create more job opportunities by the way. We can't kill them , so let's think out of the box.
Our society is broken
Ma 30% knows and understand DICk more than anything
MbuyiseniNdlozi Bana ba nowadays ba rata ntoto too much.
Feminists taught them 'My body, my choice, my rules' so re shebile now
Thousands !! yoh wat a number xem ...hope they will not blame Nigerians
Another generation of angry fatherless children raised by uneducated, unskilled, unemployable single mothers who will depend on social grants. Black excellence indeed. 4'666'4
_KeThabo Another generation of fatherless children raised by uneducated, unskilled, unemployable single mothers who depend on social grants. Black excellence indeed.
Cursed land. 😐
They were not spanked at their upbringing that’s why!
Ask Supra Mahum.... He knows why
The crime of statutory rape will never decrease or end until there's a dedicated team of people in government in every province, dealing with this scourge. Were such a team existent in NW, arrests would soon be forthcoming, deterring more aspirant paedophiles.
Raped
This is scary
Parenting is what this kids lack. Most people confuse children's rights with allowing them to do what ever they want anytime they want. Discipline or lack thereof in most cases start at home
These kids ba rata manyobana maan
Sama nyobi nyobi
As African we don't have entertain this behaviour
Why SABC is showing us African child.look like European child is better than African 🤭
Stop 🛑 paying child grants. Why does a Gov in 2019 pay people to have children, especially in a world that is overpopulated, poverty, global warming, poor Gov’s, poor education, children having children, etc. Stop pay for breeding. Then SARS will have billions spare cash. ANC
Impregnated by young boys at school
Lack of corporal punishment. Thy r free to do as thy plz no body says no to them. Mogoeng nd yo human rights organisations this is all fault. I blame the constitution for this
The next ones need to change the way they consume this fruit.
Concourt needs to rethink and revisit corporal punishment verdict
Where is statutory rape is applicable?
Raped
Thousands🤔
