Minister of Health in South Africa Mr. Aaron Motsoaledi revealed on Monday afternoon that the reason why most South African women fall pregnant is that they engage in sexual intercourse.

“I have just learned that if a woman sleeps with a man, she is likely to fall pregnant. If we knew this a long time ago, we wouldn’t be having so many unplanned babies. You can’t jump into a swimming pool and not expect to get wet. You can’t walk on burning coal and not expect to be burnt. Shocking isn’t it?” Motshoaledi told journalists in Pretoria.

The minister stated that his department will now invest more in sex education, to educate women more about the dangers of sleeping with men.
