More than 600 girls aged 9 and 10 gave birth in South Africa in 2020.

According to Statistics South Africa, 899 303 babies were born in 2020, and of those 34 587 were born to girls aged 17 and younger.

"Of the 34 587 births from teen mothers, 16 042 were aged 17, while 688 were [9 and] 10 years young. Early pregnancy and motherhood in South Africa create a greater risk in of maternal complications, resulting in low survival rates of babies, and forces many girls to prematurely take on an adult role which they are not emotionally or physically prepared for," said Stats SA.

Statistics for the recorded live births in 2020 were released on Thursday, showing that 1 003 307 births were ed in South Africa.

"Of these, 899 303 (89.6%) were births that occurred and were ed in 2020 (current birth registrations), while 104 004 (10.4%) were births that occurred in previous years but were ed in 2020," said Stats SA.

KwaZulu-Natal continued to perform poorly in of ing births within the stipulated 30-day period. Only 64% of births were ed within 30 days.

Stats SA said information about the fathers remained the biggest challenge.

"In 2020, no reliable information on fathers could be provided due to a high proportion of births (more than 60%) being ed without details of fathers.

"Section 10 of the Births and Deaths [Registration Act] prohibits unmarried fathers to have (sic) their information on the birth certificate of a child, which contributes to the high number of births with no information on fathers," said Stats SA.

"This is expected to change in the coming years as in September 2021, the Constitutional Court ruled that this section of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act is unconstitutional. This means unmarried fathers can now have their information ed in the birth certificate of their children at the Department of Home Affairs," Stats SA added.

Promiscuity in South Africa is on another level.
The men who impregnated them should be sentenced

Little wonder HIV is so prevalent in the country.

And the psychos who impregnated them have not been identified?

Are they competing with the almajiri?


Child molestation and abuse is becoming a thing and the government and world leaders aren't paying much attention to it.... because some countries attach religion to it...

What I want to know is that all the men involved have been charged and are doing time behind bars.

Hope no Nigerians cause am

South Africa!

Not surprised

This is crazy...

This one small nah. Go to the north. You'd count in thousands.

south africa be doing it

What a monumental statistics.

I hope they won't blame Nigerian's for these.

The truth is that the black communities in South Africa are really living a reckless life. Smoking, drinking and unprotected sex is their way.

Huh

9/10.... Hmmm How the preek take elect erect

The same thing do happen in the north...

SA done ment

Abomination! Such a dysfunctional society!

Baby boom.activated

You know I can't believe this if I don't see pictures.
The problem starts with south Africa public schools and the uniform for the girls,
It's damn too skimpy,

Let Dem enjoy the fruit of their labour.
Some ppl from one region will soon go there and start baby factory business

This is a common practice here. 8 out of 10 SA girls age 22years have one, two or three kids at some point.

I once have a girlfriend that her 4 siblings share three different fathers.

Once u married a Southy girl be prepared for heartbreak, lies and cheating. The are very promiscuous.

I once had a South Africa girl over, she fvcked me all night, u heard me right? She was the one ridding me

The next night my neighbor went to work on a night shift, the girlfriend came knocking on my door thinking i was the one making the girl scream so loud and for a long time the other night, so she wanted to have a feel of that.

Your guess is as good as mine i fvcked her but mind you I don't know and haven't spoken to her before that. That's how promiscuous they are.

They drink a lot too and start at a very young age at home ooo and will never stop even after marriage.

I have seen a whole family drinking at home even the young ones. They rather drink alcohol than eat. You can fvck one over a bottle of drink.

Parental upbringing should be responsible.

It will really affect their education

What a country!

So nothing like child abuse in South Africa

That country dey compete with USA in immorality

Na so dem dey do, I sabi dem wella!!!

Haaa...someone should pls wake me up from sleep
