NATIONAL NEWS - In a bid to spread the message against escalating teenage pregnancies at schools, uThungulu District Health officials visited Masakhane High School in Ndabayakhe Reserve outside Empangeni.

The main aim for this visit was to warn the pupils about the dangers of falling pregnant while their bodies are not yet ready to carry babies.
