MINISTER: TOO MUCH FLASHING OF PRIVATE PARTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

LOBAMBA – The Minister of Health, Mduduzi Matsebula, says there is too much flashing of private parts on social media.

The minister was responding to a report that was tabled in Senate, about the contributing factors to increased teenage pregnancies and HIV infections. The minister said as the ministry tried to educate and provide services, such as family planning products to the nation, they also needed assistance from all sectors of the society. He requested parents to mind their children by monitoring what they do on social media and television.

He said when one logged into Tiktok, there were plenty of private parts that were being flashed and one could swear they were for sale. “Nawungena lapha kubo TickTok, uyamangala emapaka aboshukela, tibunu nalokunye, ungafika utsi kuyatsengiswa,” he said. He urged parents to monitor their children’s online activities and not dump the responsibility on the DPM.

Destroy

Matsebula also urged sugar daddies not to destroy the future of young girls, because once they fall pregnant at a young age, they hide their pregnancies. Matsebula said the children end up delaying going for maternal care services, thus affecting the unborn child. “There is an increase of sexually transmitted diseases, which is embarrassing,” he said. The minister further said everyone, including Parliament, had a responsibility to grow the economy and create employment opportunities. The minister said people do not have food in their homes.
He said some people even go to hospital pretending to be ill and request to be admitted.

Happy

The minister said what is even more concerning is that some people are no longer happy to be discharged from the hospital, because they feared the hunger they would return to back home.Senator Lizzie Nkosi said there is a need for the country to also develop programmes that would flood social media with the correct information. She said this would help to counteract the wrong information that teenagers are fed on social media sites.
