Malaria can be prevented by destroying all the breeding sites of these mosquitoes. Dirty and still waters are perfect breeding centers for mosquitoes. Malaria can also be prevented by using nets on windows and doors so that mosquitoes can not come in contact with human beings. The use of mosquitos’ bed nets is one of the more effective means of preventing malaria infections.

In Tanzania the government issues vouchers to help pregnant women obtain bed nets for very low rates. Women and young children under the age of five are the ones in the biggest danger.

Malaria: The forgotten battle that never forgot us. Thinking back on how many times I have had malaria is difficult for me. I guess it’s once every three months including the times I go to the hospital and get diagnosed and the times I conclude I have malaria and treat myself.

Hospitals and homes filled with cries, routine decease to many.

In many African countries malaria is part of life. It seems most of us are used of having malaria.

Evidence suggests that young people are depressingly apathetic towards political interests and knowledge because of poor opinions of politicians and parliamentary behaviour.

These days, we as young people of this great Karas Region, the Region of Promise, as Prime Minister Nahas Angula so rightfully emphasised, often feel disengaged from democratic life.

Why? We ask ourselves whether the youth movement was only needed during the time of the struggle against apartheid? Are we as young people only needed during the campaign process and should we only be active in the run-up to the elections? And the question arises, are we, as young people, perhaps, not asking the same familiar, stagnating and boring questions? Things have changed and are still changing for the singular reason that change is inevitable.
