The FLN executive director, Stephen Langa, said during a sensitisation workshop on family relations at Grand Imperial Hotel on Monday that out of the 27,310 students talked to in 199 secondary schools, 13,358 students committed themselves to abstaining from sex.
He said pornography was still the main cause of moral degeneration in the country.
“Pornography is spreading like bush fire. The vice has infested our schools, work places and homes,†he said.
