A 16 year old should not even have a boyfriend. She’s supposed to be a school girl
So,so sad at 23 one is able to take another,s life.mhsrip as he rots in jail
Ku Solwezi nako.
TV has led to a lot of people having an inaccurate view of what love or a relationship entails. It is same with sex where some men watch some dirty movies and think that is the norm. When faced with reality they don’t get what they expect and lash out causing such unfortunate deaths. Cage that savage fof life
Those are the boys who will later fraudulently join the Police and gun down Innocent citizens under instruction of an equally inept leadership. That’s how the cookie crumbles.
Very sad. 16 is way too young to be in a relationship with a 23 year old, unless the boy makes his serious intentions known and is ready to wait for her to complete school. I agree, too much bad influence on young people through the media. Other parents should learn from such tragedies and be more watchful. Guard your children and don’t leave them roaming about on free range!
Why beat a woman when they are just one to many sure look at your life..
2020 nayo kaipwe bwangu
