A lot of teenagers fell pregnant at Mafutseni during the 2020-2021 period which was the peak of COVID-19 pandemic. This was fueled by the suspension of activities which kept young people busy and the suspension of schools also played a huge role such that teenagers then had too much time at their disposal. This group should not have been neglected during this time. Instead, programs should have been implemented at community level to bring young people together and tackle such issues.
