Culture of sex and rape is destroying young girls and boys

We have learners at some schools who were badly raised, who come from broken homes where there is neither order nor respect. Many of these children then bring their ill-mannered baggage to school and affect other children with it, thus turning an otherwise good school into a bad school.

I feel privileged to write this letter about how the culture of sex and rape is destroying young girls and boys in our schools. School has ceased to be a place where parents send their children to seek knowledge, but to learn about the deviant behaviour of ill-mannered children.

I believe things are going to be a little bit rough now that our courts have made it a crime to apply corporal punishment on children. I just pray we are not going to see more violence by children against teachers and fellow learners.
