As many as 28 percent of South African schoolgirls are HIV positive, according to figures from the country’s health minister reported by local media on Thursday.

Unveiling statistics that minister Aaron Motsoaledi admitted “destroyed my soul,” he added that four percent of schoolboys have the virus.

“It is clear that it is not young boys who are sleeping with these girls. It is old men,” the Sowetan newspaper quoted Motsoaledi as saying.

“We can no longer live like that,” he said.

The same culture condemning these young girls to a life of pain and misery.


These girls end up marrying the sons of those HIV infected guys. Call it Karma.

Why is it not a combination of all those? why just culture?

@all sorry, but the current Western culture cannot solve this problem. This problem will spread further, even upto our dor steps

You see, the number one contributor is money. Greed for money (young girls wanting to have fun). But greed alone is not the cause. It is the lack of discipline.

This talks to cuclture. The kind of culture we have nowadays in this societies are Westernized.
It is does no longer emphasize on moral values such as respect.

So as long as people follow Western cultue, there is no solution. Sorry.

NOTE: Didn't we see a new advert promoting mpango wa kando, as long as you use "C" word?

I'm proud of the code of conduct expected of Muslims to observe.
It forbids a lot of "bad" lifestyles, any kind of things that potentially unclean or lead to corrupt society.

Muslims are taught that ‘your body has rights over you’, and the leading of a healthy lifestyle are seen as religious obligations.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be with him) said:
‘Ask God for certainty [of faith] and well-being; for after certainty, no one is given any gift better than health!’

The Bible says:
- Don't drink alcohol, it's satan's handiwork.
- Don't gamble
- Don't do idle worship
- Don't commit adultery
- Don't wear provocative clothes
- Don't wear men's clothes if you're woman
- Don't wear wommen's clothes if you're man
- Marry if you can't control your body (it didn't not say Marry only one as some people want to mislead others!!)

If people followed these
We would have solutions for world's biggest problems to humanity.
No other religion has solution as Islam have:
- drug abuse
- prostitution
- alcoholism
- bastard children
- excess women
- crime

But people are not following the the book.
They are not going to the book.
They say "We have our heros. The guy from the West. Whatever he says, we follow"

But do these people tell us the solution they have to solve the problem of excess women, including the single ones?

People say nothing about mpango wa kando
- Young people are maturing early, they engage in ilicit affairs.
- But when Islam encourages people to marry early to avoid falling in sin, or somebody decides to marry more than one woman, this does not go down their throats!

Look at Islamic countries.
HIV prevalence is less than 0.1%.

What does that tell you?

or if you simply take a shower.

Now thats impossible because no matter what culture exists,people will still make their own decisions.But a good place to start would be to stop glorifying sex.

but if we have identified the problem surely we can find a solution to that problem. alphdoti anatuonyesha culture moja inayoonekana kufaulu kusuluhisha hili jambo. is culture related to religion?

What would people be more interested in,if a female politician x was busted having a quickie with evidence or if male politican y was implicated in a corruption scandal?

My religion is love and truth.Any religion that professes such has my ear.But in the spirit of being clear,I'm a Christian and I am well aware of the injustices done under its name by people.The question is,can they be called Christians if they don't follow the doctrines they were supposed to embrace?
