We commence our #BehindTheFilter series this Youth Month by delving into the hidden world of under-aged girls falling victim to older men. The Department of Health in KZN says urgent dialogue is needed about the increasing number of teenage girls falling pregnant by older men. Statistics show that 150 000 girls between the age group of 10 and 19 years old fell pregnant in the 2022/23 financial year. Meanwhile activists are concerned about the "sugar daddy" crisis where young girls are seeking relations with older men for economic support. Researcher Noxolo Sibisi shared her study: "An Exploration of the Exposure of High School Teenagers to Gender‐based Violence with Specific Focus on Intimate Partner Violence" with us. Vee Gani from The KZN Parents Association helped us understand the situation on the ground. Ans Jessica Khanyile from Child Welfare Durban &District discussed possible interventions.

Pensioners on Newsbreak Talk have called on the Ethekwini Municipality to provide a wider rollout of municipal rates rebates for senior citizens. This comes as the cost of living continues to rise. The Pietermaritzburg Economic Justice & Dignity Group calculates that the average food basket of essential food items increased byR136,29- or 2,6%- from R5 330,30 in May 2024 to R5 466,59 in May 2025. Residents say they need some concession on their monthly municipal bills- because they can not afford to make end meet. Joining conversation is Policy & Compliance Manager at eThekwini Municipality's Revenue Department Fikile Manqele and Ethekwini Councillor Jonathan Annipen from the IFP.
