LAUNCH OF THE TEENAGE PREGNANCY PREVENTION CAMPAIGN
MEC Zolile Monakali officially launched the Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Campaign at Rekgarathile High School in the John Taolo Gaetsewe District today.
We have recently obtained the latest statistics of the Northern Cape, in terms of teenage pregnancies, which is of great concern for the Department. These statistics indicate that on average approximately 900 learners between the ages of 15-19 years fall pregnant every 3 months (per quarter). What makes matters every worse, is the fact that we are also recording for the ages 10-14 years and average 20 teenage pregnancies every 3 months (per quarter).
We are launching this Campaign, with the slogan “Not Me, Not Now”.
Every child is a national asset and every child must succeed. Collectively, lets take hand and free our communities from teenage pregnancies, so that every child in the Northern Cape has a prosperous future.
End.
