After the tough crowd of principals and the teachers of the creches I took on high school kids:) This experience was even better than I imagined:) It was more of a mutual learning experience since they were more than willing to answer all of my "stupid" questions
Of course I started of with an easy one: "Raise your hands if you think that people in South Africa are not very faithful when it comes to relationships!" Man you should have seen how fast those hands went up in the air:) eish.... They more than confirmed the thing I heard before, that cheating and promiscuity are not at all unusual here in SA. Of course some "blame" it on their tribal heritage...since they still have polygamy. Xhosa people have given it up by now but the Zulu still practice it. It is no secret that president Zuma (Zulu) has 5 wives, 20 children and some more fiancees:)
Imagine my surprise when after asking, "can a person get HIV if he/she has unprotected sex with an HIV infected individual?", I realized that there were still some youngsters that believed that you cannot get infected in this manner. Well, we live in 21st century and we all know the facts, and lets leave the conspiracy theory alone for now, but still.... All becomes clear once they explain that apparently president Zuma publicly announced that he slept with an HIV infected person, took a shower afterwords and he was/is fine. Some shower that must have been:)

Here I gave just a couple of examples... as you can imagine, I was all ears and more than ready to put all my theories to the test:)
