Kwa-Thema – Learner support agents in the area used every opportunity to educate learners about GBVF and HIV/Aids at the Kwa-Thema Skills Centre on Monday.
They hosted a campaign using chess to commemorate the 16 Days of Activism for no violence against women and children campaign.
Participants from Veritas College, Phulong Secondary School, Nkumbulo Secondary School and Tlakula Secondary School competed in the tournament.
Learner support agent Thabiso Makgoga said with the reports in the media, he realised that some of the perpetrators of abuse are getting younger and younger.
