πŸ“» **RADIO PROGRAM RECAP: TEBUDLELWANE NEKUBEKETELANA ESWATINI**

Today, our Prevention Team tackled an important topic on air β€” Child Maintenance β€” during our weekly radio program.

πŸŽ™οΈ Our host, Ms. Khulile Tsabedze, was joined by three guest students from Eswatini Medical Christian University:
βœ… Ms. Lindelwa Msibi
βœ… Ms. Siniketiwe Nsibande
βœ… Ms. Sikhanyiso Dlamini

πŸ’‘ Key points shared during the discussion:
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ Child maintenance is a shared responsibility of both parents, not just one
πŸ’° Maintenance is not only monetary β€” it also includes emotional, physical, and developmental support for the child

πŸ“ž Listener Call-Ins:
The show received three call-ins (2 female, 1 male). One male caller appreciated the program and opened up about his experience as a single father raising his daughter, sharing that the child's mother has not been contributing to her maintenance.

πŸ™ Conversations like these remind us why continued dialogue on child maintenance responsibilities is so important β€” for the wellbeing of our children and the strengthening of family accountability.

πŸ“’ **COMMUNITY DIALOGUE: BAMBITJE**

Yesterday, NATICC conducted a Community Dialogue at **Bambitje**, bringing together **46 participants** for an engaging and honest conversation on the **Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Act (SODVA)**.

πŸ‘₯ To encourage open and comfortable participation, attendees were split into **male and female focus groups** for discussion.

πŸ—£οΈ **Key topics covered included:**
βœ… R**e
βœ… In**st
βœ… Age of consent
βœ… Duty to report..and other critical provisions of the Act

πŸ’¬ **Community Voices:**
The dialogue surfaced important perspectives β€” notably, some male participants raised concerns that the Act appears to apply more strictly to **ordinary citizens**, while being perceived as **lenient toward wealthy or affluent individuals**. This highlights the need for continued sensitization on equal application of the law, regardless of social or economic status.

πŸ™ NATICC remains committed to fostering dialogue that empowers communities to understand their rights and responsibilities under SODVA, and to challenge perceptions that undermine justice for survivors.

NATICC STAFF DEBRIEF SESSION

Last Friday, NATICC staff gathered at the NATICC Backyard Garden for an engaging and refreshing staff debrief session. The session provided an important space for staff to step away from their daily responsibilities, reflect on their experiences, share insights, reconnect with colleagues and strengthen teamwork.

Through fun and interactive activities, including β€œPick a Card,” staff had an opportunity to relax, communicate openly and build stronger relationships in a supportive environment. Staff debrief sessions are an important part of creating a healthy and collaborative workplace, as they allow everyone to reflect, recharge and support one another while working towards NATICC’s shared goals. 🌱🀝

NATICC ENGAGES MAIDENS AHEAD OF UMHLANGA REED DANCE

Today, NATICC engaged maidens from all 11 chiefdoms under Gege Inkhundla ahead of their participation in Umhlanga (Reed Dance), which will take place this week at eLudzidzini, kaLobamba.

The engagement focused on encouraging the maidens to conduct themselves with dignity, discipline and responsibility as they prepare to participate in this important cultural tradition. They were reminded that, as representatives of their families, chiefdoms and Inkhundla, their conduct should reflect respect, responsibility and pride.

As part of NATICC’s ongoing efforts to prevent teenage pregnancy, the maidens were encouraged to make informed and responsible choices throughout the Umhlanga period. They were cautioned against risky situations and relationships that could expose them to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, particularly when interacting with people they may not know.

The maidens were also encouraged to look out for one another, stay together, be aware of their surroundings, speak up when they feel unsafe or pressured, and seek guidance from trusted adults when necessary.

As they prepare to journey to eLudzidzini, the message was clear: uphold the values of Umhlanga, represent your chiefdoms with pride, and make choices that protect your health, dignity and future. πŸ’™

FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING EMPOWERS NATICC STAFF ON EFFECTIVE MONEY MANAGEMENT

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔 π’˜π’‰π’†π’ π’šπ’π’– 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 π’Žπ’π’π’†π’š 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 π’Šπ’•?

That was one of the important conversations explored today as NATICC staff took part in a Financial Literacy and Financial Management training facilitated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA).

The session was led by Consumer Education and Financial Inclusion Specialists, Ms Zandile Dlamini and Mr Mbuso Gumedze, who guided staff through practical approaches to managing money, making informed financial decisions and building healthier financial habits.

One of the key areas explored was cash-flow managementβ€”understanding where money comes from and where it goes. Staff were encouraged to create realistic budgets, distinguish between needs and wants, manage fixed and variable expenses, save systematically and avoid impulsive spending.

The training unpacked the five key aspects of budgeting, helping participants understand the importance of knowing their total income, accounting for fixed and variable costs and planning expenditure before spending.

But financial management goes beyond budgeting.

Staff were also introduced to saving options, principles of investing and retirement planning, including the role of annuities in preparing for long-term financial security. Discussions also highlighted responsible debt management and the importance of understanding one’s rights under the Consumer Credit Act, 2016.

The session encouraged staff to look beyond simply meeting today’s financial needs and begin thinking about financial security, wealth creation and the future.

By the end of the training, staff had gained practical insights that can help them budget better, spend wisely, save consistently, manage debt responsibly, make informed investment decisions and plan for retirement.

πŸ“Œ The takeaway?
Financial management is not simply about how much you earn, but how effectively you manage, protect and grow what you have.

MPANDENI COMMUNITY EMPOWERED ON SODVA, CHILDREN’S RIGHTS AND GBV PREVENTION

Today, NATICC conducted a community dialogue at Mpandeni, under Ngwenyameni Chiefdom in Zombodze Emuva Constituency, in collaboration with COSPE Southern Africa, which partnered with Sunshine Cinema under the Civil Society in Action (CSA) project.

The dialogue sought to strengthen community knowledge on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), children’s rights and responsibilities, and the role of communities in creating safer environments for children and young people.

NATICC empowered participants on the Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence (SODVA) Act, unpacking its purpose, key provisions, the offences it addresses, and who it protects. Specific attention was given to Section 3 on r**e, Section 70 on the duty to report, as well as the Sexual Offenders Register. Participants were encouraged to understand their responsibility to report sexual offences and the importance of protecting survivors and holding perpetrators accountable.

The community was also sensitised on the Children’s Protection and Welfare Act (CPWA), with discussions focusing on children’s rights and responsibilities. Participants explored the responsibility of parents, caregivers and the wider community to protect children from abuse, exploitation, neglect and other forms of harm, while also recognising that children have responsibilities alongside their rights.

As part of the dialogue, participants watched the South African short film Pumla, which provided a powerful platform for exploring issues affecting young people, including teenage pregnancy, risky behaviour, substance abuse, sexuality, family relationships and the consequences of decisions made without adequate support and guidance.

The film was followed by an interactive Q&A and reflection session, where participants shared what they had learned from Pumla’s story and reflected on what could be done differently to prevent similar situations in their own communities.

Discussions highlighted the importance of parent-child communication, positive parenting, guidance and mentorship, access to accurate information, early intervention, community support systems, and reporting cases of violence and abuse.

The engagement demonstrated the importance of combining community education, legal awareness and storytelling through film to stimulate meaningful conversations and encourage communities to take collective responsibility for protecting children, preventing violence and promoting safer communities.

BUILDING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS FOR LASTING IMPACT

Today, NATICC visited Matsanjeni South Constituency for an engagement with the Constituency Council, led by the Indvuna Yenkhundla and joined by Community Liaison Officers representing all six chiefdoms.

The engagement provided an opportunity for NATICC to introduce the UNESCO-supported project, unpack its objectives, key areas of focus and the expected impact on communities. The team also discussed the important role the Constituency Council and Community Liaison Officers will play in supporting implementation, mobilising communities and ensuring the project reaches those who need it most.

The council welcomed the project and expressed appreciation for the initiative, noting that it has the potential to bring meaningful benefits to communities across Matsanjeni South.

The engagement marks an important step towards strengthening collaboration and building community ownership for the successful implementation of the project.
