A South African minister has courted controversy after advising abstinence to schoolgirls in Mokopane, Limpopo. Provincial health minister Phophi Ramathuba suggested, "To the girl child: Open your books, and close your legs... Don't open your legs, open your books." She made the remarks while visiting a secondary school in Mokopane's Sekgakgapeng township where she was lecturing about abstinence and teenage pregnancies.
