Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Social Development Temeki Tsolo on Tuesday blasted people who abuse children and the elderly, saying a society is measured by how it treats its weakest members.
\nSpeaking at an event to mark the Day of African Child at A\u2019skop \u2013 Tsepong Quthing, Tsolo said there was a greater need now than ever before to end discrimination against children.
\n\u201cViolence and neglecting children affects them negatively, as they end up having depression and wanting to commit suicide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome drop out of school as a result.<\/p>\n

\u201d Tsolo said government would also strive to build and support sustainable independent living for persons with disability and older people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking together we can move Lesotho forward and build a fully inclusive society free of unfair discrimination, inequality, abuse and exploitation.<\/p>\n

\u201d The minister came laden with goods that were distributed to community members facing hunger and deprivation spawned by another poor rain season.<\/p>\n

Crop production in the area was last year adversely reduced by hail storms and floods. The villagers got shoes from Woolworths of South Africa and sanitary pads from government.<\/p>\n

Noxolo Manxodidi from Mjanyane, Quthing who got some baby clothes was left speechless: \u201cI am grateful for the gift that I received. \u201d Memetu Rosina Memane from Mokanametsong Quthing hopes gifts of this nature will help reduce school dropout levels which lead to early marriages and alcoholism.
\n\u201cIt will be better if parents are given lessons in how to negotiate with their teenagers about sex and how to tackle the challenges that they will face on the way,\u201d she said but lashed out at \u201cmillennials\u201d whom she branded \u201cdisrespectful.<\/p>\n
