He said besides the increasing rate of juvenile delinquency and other misconducts noticed among the youths, churches should play their role in bringing youths to order.
The SDO also pleaded that participants should brainstorm on various ways by which the youths can be imparted positively to address this trend.
Moreover Mungambo advised that instead of focusing on dancing and sporting activities, more emphasis should be laid on sensitizing youths on civic education and the dangers of delinquency.
