Free condoms will coax 13 year olds

Any right-thinking person should be shocked by government’s intention to distribute condoms to children aged 13.

Perhaps it’s an acknowledgement by the government that children have become so depraved that the only solution is to license them to become corrupt beyond measure.

The effect of premature sex to a child’s health and welfare is universally acknowledged.

One may argue that children are already indulging in sex. That may be so, but the panacea is not to legitimise this habit.

Regrettably, it is children from poor families who will bear the brunt of this stupid policy, while children from wellto-do families are insulated because most are in private and good public schools where studying, not sex, is encouraged.

Verwoerd must be smiling in his grave because this policy will further corrupt children and the consequences are far worse than Bantu education.
