Teen suicide crisis gripping South Africa.

Loading player...
Dr. Ray Legodi and Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi host AFM of SA Welfare CEO Pastor Bongiwe Naile, zooming in on the teen suicide crisis gripping South Africa. Stats reveal alarming rates: SA's suicide rate at 23.5/100k, the second leading killer for 15-29s; up to 20% high schoolers attempted, peaking in matric season. They stress caring through awareness—bullying, depression, and poverty fuel it—calling churches to safe spaces, counseling, and hope. Practical help: Listen without judgment, connect to SADAG (0800 567 567), and foster community support as faith bearers. Scripture mandates valuing life (Psalm 139:14), suicide defies God's image—churches heal via compassion and gospel truth.
