Responsibility is the key

Bonginkosi I Ntuli, Secretary, Mondlo Community Police Forum, writes:-

LIFE IS about choices and you are the master of the situation. The choices we make determine our future. Every action has rewards and results.

Girls, you are beautiful and God loves you; stop despising yourselves. Your bodies are so precious and they are not for sale, so don’t defile them. Use your minds positively and find something that you can do with your hands to generate money for yourselves. Don’t go around begging from men.

Discover your dream; a dream will help you to prioritise the most important things in your life.

Let’s stop blaming the state, and develop society and our lives. Let us stand up and build. This is the time, this is the moment. Say, “NO!” to poverty. Ploughing and farming are the pillars of life.

Parents must care about the education of their children. We only see them at the beginning of the year for registration, but after that we do not see them anymore. So I want to tell our parents to please play a role in the education of your children.

No one should die from HIV and Aids. We all have Aids if one of us does. Don’t rush for sex – sex has always been there and is going nowhere.

Matriculants – All the best and good luck. Remember that you are still kids so remember to behave like kids.

The Festive Season is now here and there is a lot of activities going on.

1.The biggest problem is speed with many drivers not observing the speed limit, which results in many people perishing on our roads.

2. Shebeens contribute to rape – 39% of young women between the ages of 12 and 17 state that they have been forced to have sex. Don’t look away – act against abuse!

I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Your safety is our goal!
