Mothers usually sit their children down or buy their daughters or encourage them to buy sanitary pads before they go to school. That kind of education is critical in shaping the future of our children.
After the first edition of this column, which looks at adolescence and reproductive health and other health and social related issues affecting youths, today I focus on some of the behaviours that result in complications in one’s life later on.

Council ordered to cancel tender
Chronicle Reporter
THE Minister of Local Government, Rural and Urban Development, Dr Ignatius Chombo, yesterday said the Bulawayo City Council should cancel a tender it put out for the leasing of its shops in the city.
The council on Thursday last week invited tenders for the lease of 52 council shops in the four suburbs of Iminyela, Mabutweni, Njube and Pelandaba.
The move was condemned by sitting tenants some of whom wanted to buy the shops from the local authority.
In an advert in the Press, the council indicated that the kiosks at the Centenary Park, Barham Green and North End swimming pools were also up for grabs.
