What on earth are we driving our nation to?
Into a turmoil or to a better life by allowing our kids to have sex at the age of 12 to 15 years?
These are the leaders of tomorrow, that we are driving into a ditch.
Parliamentarians must be grown up as this is the cause of social grants, instead of letting our kids have time to study and be leaders of tomorrow, we are destroying them, a country full of children raising children.
I think we are giving our children too much freedom and rights for nothing even if Tata [late Nelson Mandela] would not allow such nonsense.
How would you comment if you find your 12 year old daughter in bed with her boyfriend having sex instead of studying?
How is she going to concentrate at school, thinking of what they were doing last night with her boyfriend?
Let us let our children finish school and do whatever they want to do if they are at the age of doing sex-after school.
The age of 12 years is still primary age, and l think its not ideal to allow our children to have that mentality of thinking about sex.
Children should have the rights for better education, better home, dignity, privacy, freedom, access to health services and better care not to seek pleasure.
There will be no control to our children.
What makes you change the Sexual Offences Act to destroy our leaders of tomorrow feeding them with corrupt idealogy.
I struggled to get a driver’s licence when l was 15 years, but now a child of this age cannot vote, or get a driver’s licence or a job but they are allowed to have sex and potentially fall pregnant!
