Age restrictions for a product that has been proven to be harmful and dangerous to children? Why are we even debating this?

Instead of mimicking what he describes as unenforceable social media age bans, Minister Solly Malatsi says South Africa should prioritise bridging enforcement gaps for the existing legislative framework and deepening digital literacy among parents and schools to tackle escalating online threats.

📣Parents and educators - have you checked out the incredible work that the South African chapter of the global Smartphone Free Childhood movement SFC South Africa is doing? 👏
Fuelled entirely by parent volunteers, they NEED our help to keep going!
With SFC Parent Pacts to delay smartphones and social media in nearly 450 primary schools across SA, they've got two really important campaigns they need help with:

💫Development of a live Parent Pact dashboard so school communities can track progress:

💫Setting up of a phone-free school register:

Please consider supporting these incredibly worthy causes that will have a huge impact.
There is also the option of a donation towards their very basic running costs (literally email and Zoom licences, bank charges and admin costs!):

You have no idea the difference your support will make, to so many South African families - who will be encouraged to join up and be part of the global low-tech, slow-tech shift 🙏
