“We are very concerned as a province of the number of young mothers that are increasing. The number is becoming more over the years. This year we have a 15-year-old mother that gave birth at Prince Mshiyeni Hospital. For us, this is a serious issue because for a 15-year-old to give birth now it means she fell pregnant when she was 14. That is really statutory rape. It is something that as a society we should not keep quiet about. As a society, we cannot encourage .

There is no amount of damages paid that would actually change back the life of that particular child. As families, we must stand firm as families. We must sure that those who abuse our children they must pay the prize those that abuse our children the law must take its cause.”
