Dr. Ray Legodi and Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi host AFM of SA Welfare CEO Pastor Bongiwe Naile, zooming in on the teen suicide crisis gripping South Africa. Stats reveal alarming rates: SA's suicide rate at 23.5/100k, the second leading killer for 15-29s; up to 20% high schoolers attempted, peaking in matric season. They stress caring through awareness—bullying, depression, and poverty fuel it—calling churches to safe spaces, counseling, and hope. Practical help: Listen without judgment, connect to SADAG (0800 567 567), and foster community support as faith bearers. Scripture mandates valuing life (Psalm 139:14), suicide defies God's image—churches heal via compassion and gospel truth.
