Yes, this is very true. The only problem is that it is the government that is failing these young people. More especially that kids learn things from those around them, we as elders must show them how to behave and what proper morals are. Banda must stop sleeping around with other women and should stop showing up in public with Thandiwe. She is too young for him. Other girls will think that is the right thing to do or the way to get to State House. Abakulu ba Banda ukufulila umwana wabo Thandiwe. Lishiku ilikulu sana. Elyo bonse babili tabafundwa. Kabili bapeleshenye fye amafumo. Ichikulu pakaiche. Nensoni tachakwata.
