It's appalling that much hasn't changed since I left - even in South Africa, young girls in their teens were getting pregnant out of wedlock and dropping out of school - nothing much was been done then to educate them or help them

I recall someone I knew who was good in her studies had to stop midway because her father had arranged her marriage to a widower in exchange for a few goats - she was a teen and he was in his 50s maybe?

To be frank, the only ones who made it out were those who completed their education -
