Johannesburg - Children's rights organisations have backed the controversial comprehensive sexuality education curriculum which Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini said has prospects of damaging the minds of young people in school.
Unesco’s health and HIV education national programme officer Buyiswa Mpini said it was not true that the lessons would expose pupils to explicit sexual material. The king however told guests and MPLs, in IsiZulu, that he had seen the “disgusting” pictures which would be used to teach CSE. “Ten-year-olds are already being impregnated, and there is definitely a need not only to create awareness but mobilise action to ensure that the children are in a position to make informed positive choices.
