There are condom ads and condom dispensers all over Swaziland. We see this one all the time. At the border you can get free condoms from “The Condocan”, adorned with a picture of “Condoman”. Apparently that marketing scheme hasn’t been very effective.
 
This is by the bus depot in Manzini where we catch public. It’s both absurd and heartbreaking that this is legit. There was an article in the paper a few weeks ago titled “80 kids raped since January”. And those were only the reported ones.

  1. I remember seeing a few of these. Shocking, to say the least. They each require their own response, but I feel like that could get lengthy. So, thanks for sparking many thoughts in my head today. 🙂

  2. Wow. Unbelievable. I’m glad someone is speaking out about this child-rape issue. Every little bit counts.
