As you well know, it's the culture, your parents and your elders had to be well respected and this is why African culture needs to be protected. This is what is coming through in this documentary.
Yes white doctors and scientists brought the hiv disease to South Africa for experimental reasons and gave it to almost 1 million people that's why it's so bad out there
I’m so moved by Nhlanhla’s story.. she’s so sweet spirited, and her energy is never overtaken.. even when finding out she contracted HIV she never was defeated and continued moving fwd.. I don’t know how she handles her circumstances so well.. her attitude is always positive.. I have so much love and respect for her... and her best friend Yolanda is so dear.. I love her sweet spirit too.. thank you for the upload ❤️
Thato's parent's coparenting style is effortless and definitely looks out for the children's best interests. if only more divorced parents were like this
Shan Talks as they always do in 3th world countries I’m from Jamaica and it’s the same thing older man can take care or young girls when the families have a lot of kids to Feed🤷🏽♀️
I’m sorry for the girl with HIV. But let me tell you, she’s STRONG! I’m proud of all of these young women for being strong and pushing forward. God bless you young ladies & families
She doesn't have much of a choice now. And I would assume she has known quite a few other mothers who have it, a change of lifestyle ECT.. I don't think it would be such a "death sentence" as it is in 1st world country's.
MTV Shuga Absolutely! The guy that gave the young lady HIV , I could hunt him down and choke him. He knew what he was doing to that young girl by getting her pregnant (worst enough) then leave her with an incurable disease. God Bless that young lady's future. She will go so far in life. She has such a positive outlook on her life ,despite her circumstances. I love them all, and wish them so much happiness and a good life.
Brooke Melton what part of it exactly is OK? These are girls are kids and if it was somebody close to their ages they would not be referring to them as men.
In as much as we may blame these older man for abusing the young ladies. The ladies are at fault too, they knew the result. N decided to act in their own way.
@@takudzwanyagumbo6492 true but if you were a 24 year old man why would you want to be with a 16 year old. Really 16 year Olds are so naive why even take advantage of that as an old man. That's sickening you can't deny this
@@takudzwanyagumbo6492 But oksalayo as a 24 year old, you're more accmplished in life and working on your goals. When you're 16 you're in grade 9 or 10. Can you see that big gap in terms of life experience?
Thatos father is very protective of his daughter ❤. It's beautiful how much he cares. He wants what's best for his baby girl. You can't really blame him.
@@KV-mz8ro hes protective of her not controlling or crazy to the point he doesn't give her freedom okay he gave his daughter the needs she wanted if she wanted to live with him that would totally fine Like what do you guys hear when shes says PR O TEC TIVE like God
Yes her dad had all my respect.. he stood up for his baby.. This is my 1st time ever seeing this version and I love it. It’s much more realistic than the other shows..
Why is it so prevalent in our communities, what went wrong, my parents warned me about boys, yes I listened to them today I graduated and independent I don't have to cash in on sassa
The relationship between Thato and her mom is beautiful! I hope all of these ladies and their beautiful babies are doing well and are healthy and enjoying life.

I want to sponsor her education all the way through veterinary school. And that of her child, through college. If anyone at MTV can act as a facilitator, please give me a contact.
Am so proud of her Dad and she should have not allowed him to refer to her Dad as crazy because he is not crazy he is just protecting his daughter.. However, I do not support teen age sex..
These are the most mature 16 year old girls i have seen in my life the way they have embraced their situation as hard as it is its amazing and the family support is beautiful #blackgirlmagic ❤

Keep it up and never give up until your dreams become a reality.😘😘😘😘😘
Nosipho Pehlo if you know anything about HIV her baby wasn’t going to be born with it(no disrespect to you) my sister was HIV and had my nephew,she pass when she was 33year old but my nephew who is 23 this year still is not HIV positive 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽Thank you Jesus 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@SheGotsStyle1 hiv can be pass from mom to child , omg yall young folks , if it happen for your sis without medication , thank god , but thats NOT the norm , omg i cant believe u said that , may the god be with yall
I feel sorry for the who is HIV+ , I wish she's was not HIV+ coz she's brilliant and looks like she's gonna have a beautiful future ahead. she's bright and responsible..
Itumeleng Langa i understand what u mean but now its not a death sentence it has been ruled as a chronic disease just like diabetes hypertension cos as long as she takes her medication it can be undetectable and can live a healthy live for as long as life allows her to. its sad though.
She is brilliant and she still has a beautiful future ahead! What's really important is that she's been given the support to deal with her status (and the knowledge to make sure her baby is born HIV-). But you're so right, we must condomise no matter what.
Itumeleng there is just something about pregnancy that brings out the best in you. I was 22 when I fell pregnant with my baby boy. I was in final year of varsity and was devastated though my boyfriend was by my side and still is. When he arrived i was so determined to go ahead and finish my qualification and my boyfriend said to me , I will not graduate without you. We took turns to baby sit to fit our school schedules during the weekends. Through the support of my mom , boyfriend and family I graduated. I tell that child gave me all the motivation i needed in life. Not that I wanted a child out of wedlock but like they say when life gives you lemons make lemonade mntase. That girl will go far I tell you. Just knowing that you have someone to live for brings out the best in you.
I myself was a teen mom at an early age. My daughter is now 13 going on 14. It a challenge but it builds you for real life. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾. The young lady with HIV stay strong and fight a strong battle for you and your baby.
Diamond Onyemeh That's why the young man is helping to support the baby, too. Daddy put his foot down and made him be a man to his daughter and grandchild. I hope that he always takes care of his child
I hope they pay them a decent amount of money like they do the American teen moms and not take advantage of them because that will not be right. I know American people like to be cheap and and so does other countries I really wish I could help other people genuinely help other people
Lili Casablanca Absolutely! Especially the young lady (forgot her name) that contracted HIV from her older boyfriend. I could've hunted him down and strangled him. He knew exactly what he was doing to that young girl. The young ladies in that country , seems to be so much more innocent/naive than the teenage girls in the U.S. , but I really admire that young lady's strength and attitude in spite of her circumstances. She will go very far in her life ,because she's strong. I wish that , I had the money to sponsor her and her little son. I would in a heartbeat.
Donita Ballard OMG! I was saying the same thing! I have the space and some items that my son has outgrown, I really wish that there was a way that I could sponsor them or some like them...
am glad mtv showing some kids with some serious issues or consequences when young and pregnant. no glamorous baby shower and showered with gifts like its a dream to be pregnant young and in school.
@@elchelle5722 thats why travelling and open-mind is better tha racism and believing these typical stereotypical bullshit about africa and other countries from a person up on the comments-
Bruh why am I just now seeing this 😭 This is sooo much better than the U.S. version! I've watched abt every episode of the American version back when it aired. Now I need to go and binge watch these.
I’m so proud of these young ladies for not giving up on themselves. I can’t imagine everything they had to endure from society being so young and pregnant. That little girl who’s HIV positive and a single mom is a superwoman for having taken everything that life threw at her so well. She’s my role model; even though she’s half my age. Women go through the most.
MTV Shuga. It will be nice if you give and show us an update of this girls in 9 months or in 12 months. I would like to see what direction their lives are going.
@Tomorrow is NOT just another day And you know this how? Some teen parents succeed and go further than people who aren't in that position. So the negative comments are unwarranted
Thato’s mom is the MVP. She’s strong willed yet so supportive of her daughter. She recognizes the shortcomings, but pours love into her child. Amazing mom!
i like this waayyyy better than the US version we actually learn and the girls are not presented as trailer trash but they are presented as respectable girls who happen to make a mistake
I'm from America and I hope these young ladies get rich off this show! They need all the support and money they can get. At least these young ladies want a better life for themselves and their child. The 16 pregnant in the U.S is a joke!
Anesu Amen!!!! I dont get why after all the unwanted teen pregnancies and HIV cases in young prople some are still focused on abstinence instead of teaching both
You're right and I feel like some nurses should also stop girls when they go and get contraceptives or condoms to protect themselves. You find that some say they're embarrassed to go to the clinics because of the treatment that they get there.
most nurses in government clinics really treat people like dirt. it is very difficult for a teenager to walk in and say she's there for family planning because of the nasty remarks and dirty looks they get from the nurses. Its terrible
Mmule Sparkle, did you notice it was said behind him, he dare not say it to his face or his life will not be worth living. The audacity, I felt like going round there and smack his crazy mouth as a mother of 4 lovely children.
Honestly it’s because he’s a BOY. No where near a man. Such as Thatos dad is. Thatos dad is wanting him to be a man but a boy will never understand that!
So Nobody’s going to comment on how she said she had to find a step father?? 😂😂😂 I love her sm. The fact the she can find humour in all this and remain calm.
In 1994 I found myself in this situation of 16 and pregnant but today my baby she 21 years today educated and no child I am a proud mother #whoislaughingnow
lydia mosehle im so proud of that I made the same mistake as my mother and fell pregnant at 15 but I want my child who is now eight to make better choices then my mother and I and I know she will ur story gives me confidence
Xo Xo You do realise that the baby could be born in later 1995, meaning still 21? Gosh, I wish some people thought and used their brains properly before speaking🙄
I don't think it's unreal at all!!! I just think that they should be speaking in the language they know the best, so they can truly express their feelings
I wish all versions of 16 and Pregnant was as informative as this!! I don’t think they ever go into this much detail on the American on British versions. I was in floods of tears when that girl was talking to her brother about having to not have her baby’s father in her life after finding out she is HIV positive. If they showed this version on tv I think it would make more people wear condoms! I have an older family member who is HIV positive and his life is just like normal due to medication he’s on. We don’t realise how lucky we have it here in England...
I had my son at 17 and now I'm 35 I wouldnt change it for the world. I have no patience for small children now. I can travel the world with notice. My friends can't because they have small children that require baby sitters and any extra money they have.
@@tomarasmith4459 meh you only get to be young and carefree once. You have your entire life to be an adult. Having a child at 17 takes away the youth all teens should experience
@@productjunkie1018 I enjoyed my self like any other teen and teens are not carefree. You are able to have your opinion but mine opinion is I had most tolerance and energy in back then. No way in hell would I want to be raising children in my 30's.
Yho... The girl with HIV makes me think twice about having unprotected sex, and I also like the fact that she's not allowing that to bring her down. Before, I didn't mind not using protection as I tend to go wherever the wind takes me when I'm in love. I'm considering myself lucky as I haven't fallen pregnant yet nor came in contact with any diseases. I think the problem with us, teenage girls, is that when we are in love we tend to be submissive to our partners to the point that we don't mind falling pregnant BUT we tend to be so trusting that we forget about the diseases related to that. Only one episode and I've already learnt a lot... I hope many teenage girls would make better decisions in the future. This show has totally won me over!
Absolutely the best “Teen Moms”!!! I have seen every Teen Mom episode, been watching from the very beginning, just found these episodes today...These are the Strongest, Bravest, young women MTV has ever presented us with. ✊🏽💪🏽🖤💟
School is priority #1. Notice all 3 girls went back to high school after having their babies. We look forward to watching them make the most of their opportunities in the coming years.
Thato's parents support and protect her both emotionally and emotionally. I really love and respect Nhlanhla for being a responsible mother and the way she handles her situation,not only is she intelligent but also wise. #SaluteNhlanhla
16 years is very young. I am 22 and I can't afford to be pregnant....I am coming from a disadvantaged background!! My parents are both unemployed. The baby is very expensive. I rather be single as I am up until I graduate..and get a job..Having sexual intercourse before marriage was the biggest sin I ever did. So I can't go further with sins and have a baby out of wedlock..God has been forgiving me... Help me Lord to get mine with my husband.When I am financially stable......NOT NOW!!!..
@@veronicawilliams4443 yes she is I got pregnant at 16 I'm 49 now I advise young ladies to wait it's so much out there in this big world than raising a baby.
I am so proud of Nhlanhla,the way she has everything under control, she is emotionally strong.....may the lord bless her and may she continue to find strength and grant her all of her heart desires

Someone needs to give that granny a medal for talking care of the whole family and the baby.
TK Foster what’s a medal gonna do for her?...
Your right about that
Sadly this is quite common in South Africa, the AIDS pandemic of the from the 90s to early 2000s claimed a lot of lives. Our women go through a lot.
I agree
Damn 16 pregnant and HIV positive 😭😭😭😭 GOD BLESS her and. Her kid ahh man my heart is broke frfr
The baby will be ok, our PMTC program is very good but it’s sad that she will have to survive on treatment for the rest of her life
This is the type of "16 & pregnant" I'm willing to watch not those annoying girls yelling at/arguing with their parents every episode
As you well know, it's the culture, your parents and your elders had to be well respected and this is why African culture needs to be protected. This is what is coming through in this documentary.
ikrrrrrr
Obey Amma the American twins right ?
In other words them americans girls
@@snapchatqueensq3139 lmfao. You mean white girls I'm sure.
the mother with HIV seems so humble..I wish she didn't had dis virus..may god continue to bless her n her son
Thalia Cuffy
Did she eventually become a vet?
She does seem humble. I think that she feels it's no choice but, to stay optimistic.
Yes white doctors and scientists brought the hiv disease to South Africa for experimental reasons and gave it to almost 1 million people that's why it's so bad out there
Extremely sad 😔😔
Wow. This teen mom African version breaks my heart. We Americans are spoiled. We take things for granted.
So spoiled
Absolutely spoiled... These girls have it so hard but, they are still smiling and staying positive.
With the gold silver and rainbow spoon pray they get good fortune and great health I really am going to humbke myself alot more now
After suffering to be raised up. Then you trap your own child too,ummm it's sad
Tbh we are 😌
God bless the grani who takes care of 18 people
She is the best, nothing would be easy without her. God bless u granny.
💞💝
Stay strong granny those 18 people need you
Amen😂
Preech girl preech
When she said she was HIV+ my heart dropped. She's so young. She can't help that she fell in love with a snake.😔
She's a strong young lady and I'm glad this is a informative testimony for everyone to be responsible when it comes to sex and get tested.
Mine too @KiiKii Ashuntay... She's so courageous though. More brave than most people, even those older than her. She's very inspirational. Great kid!
Whats HVI+
I hurt when she said that. A grown man took this little girl life away
The Hitchcocks omn it sad

Exactly
Is truly interesting ...most African parents won't be supportive especially the ones that are divorce.
boipelo moloele lol gotta remember this is t.v guys
What did you think this feeling
You got to admire the attitude of African parents. Not just doing everything for the kids. Teaching them to do it themselves.

Yah that's how we do it
That's what I love about this. The moms preparing these girls for motherhood
My mom would teach me in the grave😭

the voiceover person is trying to make light of the situation.
Why are these older men abusing these young girls. Men have been taking advantage of women like this for too long. A reckoning is coming.
Raise the Age of Consent to 18. Children need additional protections from predatory men.
It feels like sometimes God hates us women I mean first periods, second child birth, and most importantly just a hard life

I myself was a teen mom at an early age. My daughter is now 13 going on 14. It a challenge but it builds you for real life. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾. The young lady with HIV stay strong and fight a strong battle for you and your baby.
Kirsten White sorry but ew
*I see myself as an independent woman,not dependent*
Word.💎😻
I am so touched by Nhlanhla story but I liked how strong she is she has smiles all over even if she is HIV positive.
Did he say “and your crazy dad”😳😳 that’s not being crazy it’s being protective🤝
True
So I take it you will be joining the posse I am forming to kick Mokete's ass.
Agreed very rude...
I would have slapped him👀such disrespect
Thatos dad is hurt, i understand his behaviour
Tebello Merritorious I like that he sticks up for her. that's why he is her dad.
Mokete is soo disrespectful..Thato's dad did he good
There was no need to get violent, but we understand, he just wants the best for his daughter :)
Tebello Merritorious True that he is hurt..
Diamond Onyemeh That's why the young man is helping to support the baby, too. Daddy put his foot down and made him be a man to his daughter and grandchild. I hope that he always takes care of his child
I really hope MTV help fund for these girls and their babies education, health care, and other important living expenses.
Cherisse Star Me too,they love to go to 3th world countries and exploit them,I hope they pay them At least up until a year from healthcare
That would be great if they did that
@@aminatraore9303 👀👀🤣😅
I hope they pay them a decent amount of money like they do the American teen moms and not take advantage of them because that will not be right. I know American people like to be cheap and and so does other countries I really wish I could help other people genuinely help other people
Yes, this is where they should be sending money. Not filling the pockets of lazy, entitled, irresponsible, brats.
This actually the best 16 & pregnant show I ever watch fr , the girls are so mature, humble and strong
these girls seem so innocent but so brave. kudos to all the teenage moms who are strong for their kids
Absolute KUDOS... people make light of it, but it takes some real character to get through.
Lili Casablanca Absolutely! Especially the young lady (forgot her name) that contracted HIV from her older boyfriend. I could've hunted him down and strangled him. He knew exactly what he was doing to that young girl. The young ladies in that country , seems to be so much more innocent/naive than the teenage girls in the U.S. , but I really admire that young lady's strength and attitude in spite of her circumstances. She will go very far in her life ,because she's strong. I wish that , I had the money to sponsor her and her little son. I would in a heartbeat.
Donita Ballard OMG! I was saying the same thing! I have the space and some items that my son has outgrown, I really wish that there was a way that I could sponsor them or some like them...
Heyyy random person scrolling through the comments 😁😁
kimchee hey
Heyyy girl
U caught me haha
How do u know lollll
hey😂
This version of sixteen and pregnant is more informative and showing you the hardship and truths without glorifying it
am glad mtv showing some kids with some serious issues or consequences when young and pregnant. no glamorous baby shower and showered with gifts like its a dream to be pregnant young and in school.
am i the only one that neverbheard of mtvshuga????
is this like an african mtv??
because its awesome and the music is bomb!
Christen Knows Piano yes me too first time seeing this
if you know lupita nyongo you should know MTV she acted in a show called shuga and it became so popular that's why they go by MTV shuga
I thought the same thing
I'm shocked when I saw it too I didn't know MTV was doing this in other countries
@@elchelle5722 thats why travelling and open-mind is better tha racism and believing these typical stereotypical bullshit about africa and other countries from a person up on the comments-
Her dad said " That's my baby" I felt that.
Bruh why am I just now seeing this 😭 This is sooo much better than the U.S. version! I've watched abt every episode of the American version back when it aired. Now I need to go and binge watch these.
Omm
Which channel if i may ask ?
Andisiwe Biyana the us one is on mtv, they used to air it all the time but you can watch it online on mtv
Nhlanhla is such an amazing, intelligent, brave, strong, young woman with her attitude her future is bright regardless of what life throws at her.
I’m so proud of these young ladies for not giving up on themselves. I can’t imagine everything they had to endure from society being so young and pregnant. That little girl who’s HIV positive and a single mom is a superwoman for having taken everything that life threw at her so well. She’s my role model; even though she’s half my age.
Women go through the most.
MTV Shuga. It will be nice if you give and show us an update of this girls in 9 months or in 12 months. I would like to see what direction their lives are going.
fuck you bich
Cathy Hicks What was that for? What's the need for this rude comment?
Me too!
@@cathyhicks49
Ignorant jackass..
@Tomorrow is NOT just another day
And you know this how? Some teen parents succeed and go further than people who aren't in that position. So the negative comments are unwarranted
Pops ain’t playing . You going to respect his child 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 showing love from 🇺🇸 #countrygal
Shiiiiiiit I do the same if that was my daughter. U gonna respect my baby.
Nbs African father are superrrr protective of the children especially daughter 💯💯
Thato’s mom is the MVP. She’s strong willed yet so supportive of her daughter. She recognizes the shortcomings, but pours love into her child. Amazing mom!
i like this waayyyy better than the US version we actually learn and the girls are not presented as trailer trash but they are presented as respectable girls who happen to make a mistake
Ke'Andrea Rogers yeah i agree this version isn’t trashy like the american one.
Ke'Andrea Rogers it don't matter stupid..it's still suffering
Same
So true x
Yes i would rather watch this one lol than the other one
I'm from America and I hope these young ladies get rich off this show! They need all the support and money they can get. At least these young ladies want a better life for themselves and their child. The 16 pregnant in the U.S is a joke!
Still watching in 2020 would love to know where they are now.
Same here
They need to do a follow up video
I love how Thatos Mom is responding to the conflict but the father's concerns are appropriate because he has a better understanding of a male's role
Everyone's complaining about this video being in English but yet wrote your complaints in English kind of hypocritical 🤦🏾♀️
Here I am, three years later wanting to check on the girls...I hope they made it in school and are still progressing
I also do hle
A file Jack
Honestly I like this 16 and pregnant more then the American one
Isabel Slashtech so do I
Thanks
Thato's dad is a true father
Thato is a very lucky girl
Y’all are so brave and positive 💜 sending love from Atlanta to South Africa 💜
Thank GOD for grandmothers!
@Ig Kreme_betweens because she can
Thank God for them indeed!
The girl with HIV. Has the saddest story .. 😰
Mèl Rose I know right? 💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😢
Mèl Rose i feel really bad for her it made me cry
Agreed. 😩
Mèl Rose 😔💔 it's heartbreaking
😢😢😢😢 so sad
Thato's baby daddy"Your crazy dad" no a concerned father protecting his daughter & grandchild.
I bet you I was also surprised by the way he said it. So disrespectful 😤😥
Exactly he won't say it again, now he knows. He is also a father of a daughter.
Beautiful 😍😍 I love how school is a priority for these girls and providing a better life for their baby's! May God bless them ❤❤
What God?

Troll alert 🚨
Teaching abstinence obviously doesn't help. Teach real sexual education. Protection, contraceptives, plan b options.
Anesu Amen!!!! I dont get why after all the unwanted teen pregnancies and HIV cases in young prople some are still focused on abstinence instead of teaching both
It's better to teach both...
that's so true
You're right and I feel like some nurses should also stop girls when they go and get contraceptives or condoms to protect themselves. You find that some say they're embarrassed to go to the clinics because of the treatment that they get there.
most nurses in government clinics really treat people like dirt. it is very difficult for a teenager to walk in and say she's there for family planning because of the nasty remarks and dirty looks they get from the nurses. Its terrible
Why won’t older guys leave teenagers alone 🤦🏾♀️
Mokete calling Thato's dad "Crazy" ticked me off. How dare he?
wa tella
They should've let dad bamp his head.
Mmule Sparkle, did you notice it was said behind him, he dare not say it to his face or his life will not be worth living. The audacity, I felt like going round there and smack his crazy mouth as a mother of 4 lovely children.
Honestly it’s because he’s a BOY. No where near a man. Such as Thatos dad is. Thatos dad is wanting him to be a man but a boy will never understand that!
Imagin Crazy Dad !
I'm not one for violence. but i really wished the dad would have smacked that grin off the bf face.
Yeah the smack of life
Same
Same
Its Africa better watch your self
I'm sooooooo ungrateful. Lord forgive me🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You are not alone
So
Nobody’s going to comment on how she said she had to find a step father?? 😂😂😂 I love her sm. The fact the she can find humour in all this and remain calm.
What part was that?
😂 😂 😂 😂
😂i loved that party...the humour is just good
Their grandmothers have too much on their plates. Raising grandkids and great grandkids while working.
It's terrible
Horrible
Sadly most grandmothers go through this in South Africa.
its a sad norm in South Africa
I love how Thato's dad is not having any of Mokete's bullshit and supporting his daughter✊🏽💖💕
the hiv positive girl is so strong and very inspiring..
I Love her too
In 1994 I found myself in this situation of 16 and pregnant but today my baby she 21 years today educated and no child I am a proud mother #whoislaughingnow
lydia mosehle im so proud of that I made the same mistake as my mother and fell pregnant at 15 but I want my child who is now eight to make better choices then my mother and I and I know she will ur story gives me confidence
Give him/her love dear everyday and sit down and you will see he/she is the reason you are smiling
Wouldn't she be 22/23?
Xo Xo I think she means she was pregnant in 94 had the baby in 95 and she hasn't turned 22 yet.
Xo Xo You do realise that the baby could be born in later 1995, meaning still 21? Gosh, I wish some people thought and used their brains properly before speaking🙄
Do an update on these ladies!!
when africa does a documentary, everyone says it's unreal, when other people do theirs, everyone loves it
Miracle Chikezie I know right!
Miracle Chikezie it's just different. lol I can't explain it but it's not bad. at all
Miracle Chikezie I enjoyed this! ❤️
I don't think it's unreal at all!!! I just think that they should be speaking in the language they know the best, so they can truly express their feelings
What do they say is unreal?
To be 16 and finding out you're pregnant and have H.I.V my God! It's not even worth it. Wait young ladies. Just wait.
Marlicia Monroe its 2017 being pregnant and having HIV does not mean the end of the world.
Marlicia Monroe u right it really isn’t worth it🤕
MegaClemie Wow you say it like you wouldn’t mind it...sad
Marlicia Monroe what a heartless comment
Marlicia Monroe absolutely....and the HIV rates in SA is soaring just like around the globe
Nhlanhla is strong shame pregnant and HIV positive at 16.... not an easy thing to take in.
Thato's dad... big up bro...that's how it's done.
finally an African version of this show! love it!
Me too and im Pakistani lol x
*South African
@@kgolaganobogopa5847 South African is still African haii🗣️🙌🏾🙌🏾don't be foolish please.. Aslong as it takes place in Africa then its African
Common thread in ALL 3 stories = Father's took NO responsibility ! (Even the oldest 1)😡😤
@Kanoasha Jackson lmfao.
I'm sure it was just a simple typo...
I don't know what's up with our black men who are so irresponsible and ignorant
Black men for you. The out there looking for white women to create mixrace babies with. They can never look after their own
@@faithyande6702 lmao 😂 maybe bc they don't want to deal with women such as yourself that say ignorant things
I wish all versions of 16 and Pregnant was as informative as this!! I don’t think they ever go into this much detail on the American on British versions. I was in floods of tears when that girl was talking to her brother about having to not have her baby’s father in her life after finding out she is HIV positive. If they showed this version on tv I think it would make more people wear condoms! I have an older family member who is HIV positive and his life is just like normal due to medication he’s on. We don’t realise how lucky we have it here in England...
I had my child at 30 and im financially stable... Its hard raising kids.. I couldnt imagine being 16 doing so chile id lose my dayum mind!
I had my son at 17 and now I'm 35 I wouldnt change it for the world. I have no patience for small children now. I can travel the world with notice. My friends can't because they have small children that require baby sitters and any extra money they have.
@@tomarasmith4459 I always felt like that. Gave birth to my son at 20. Yeah I get to sacrifice now, but ill be able to enjoy my 30s
@@tomarasmith4459 meh you only get to be young and carefree once. You have your entire life to be an adult. Having a child at 17 takes away the youth all teens should experience
@@productjunkie1018 I enjoyed my self like any other teen and teens are not carefree. You are able to have your opinion but mine opinion is I had most tolerance and energy in back then. No way in hell would I want to be raising children in my 30's.
@@tomarasmith4459 I think you don't want to tell the truth.
Yho... The girl with HIV makes me think twice about having unprotected sex, and I also like the fact that she's not allowing that to bring her down. Before, I didn't mind not using protection as I tend to go wherever the wind takes me when I'm in love. I'm considering myself lucky as I haven't fallen pregnant yet nor came in contact with any diseases. I think the problem with us, teenage girls, is that when we are in love we tend to be submissive to our partners to the point that we don't mind falling pregnant BUT we tend to be so trusting that we forget about the diseases related to that. Only one episode and I've already learnt a lot... I hope many teenage girls would make better decisions in the future. This show has totally won me over!

Ncoohhhh (blows kiss)...

Absolutely the best “Teen Moms”!!! I have seen every Teen Mom episode, been watching from the very beginning, just found these episodes today...These are the Strongest, Bravest, young women MTV has ever presented us with. ✊🏽💪🏽🖤💟
Damn the girls and the women are beautiful and so gorgeous😩😍 they have the cutest babies ever! Strong Queens with a bright future👑 the music too🇿🇦🇿🇦
Can MTV at least help them further their studies.
School is priority #1. Notice all 3 girls went back to high school after having their babies. We look forward to watching them make the most of their opportunities in the coming years.
MTV Shuga so are y'all gonna give them money or ere you going to keep it all for yourselves
MTV Shuga so will there be a "Teen Mom" show in the works for these young ladies?
DA WHITE GIRLS HAD ARE FAMOUS AN RICH NOW!
I know right one of them even produced a porn video
I love that these girls aren't looking at a phone like most young girls in US are. They are more into education than doing it for the gram.
Thatos parents make coparenting look simple,they have a beautiful relationship. This girl with HIV broke my heart,how sad for her
I love Thatos father
"You are going to force me to hurt you". Dead 💀💀💀
Yup. agreed. That's someone's daughter.
I love the South African accent
Thato's parents support and protect her both emotionally and emotionally. I really love and respect Nhlanhla for being a responsible mother and the way she handles her situation,not only is she intelligent but also wise. #SaluteNhlanhla
16 years is very young. I am 22 and I can't afford to be pregnant....I am coming from a disadvantaged background!! My parents are both unemployed. The baby is very expensive. I rather be single as I am up until I graduate..and get a job..Having sexual intercourse before marriage was the biggest sin I ever did. So I can't go further with sins and have a baby out of wedlock..God has been forgiving me... Help me Lord to get mine with my husband.When I am financially stable......NOT NOW!!!..
Thully Nokuthula your smart for waiting, I was a teen mom and it changes your life
@@veronicawilliams4443 yes she is I got pregnant at 16 I'm 49 now I advise young ladies to wait it's so much out there in this big world than raising a baby.
No body is talking about nhlanhla's friend😪 buh FR tho she's a true friend❤❤❤
I am so proud of Nhlanhla,the way she has everything under control, she is emotionally strong.....may the lord bless her and may she continue to find strength and grant her all of her heart desires
