Health ministry advocates for sober holiday

At an event on Friday at the ministry, master of ceremony, Illana Kalaben, reminded her peers to be cautious of alcohol abuse, urging them not to drink and drive. She emphasised the importance of self-care, including protection against HIV and Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), considering the heightened activities during the festive season.

Kalaben also highlighted that a lot would be happening during the festive season, adding that the mood would be high, and pleaded with the youth to enjoy themselves responsibly so that they come back in one piece and healthy. For his part, Dr Tshepo Machacha indicated that he had worked in different hospitals across the country.
