 This article discusses the decision-making concept as simplified through scenarios in three isiZulu folk narratives. The three folk narratives are part of the qualitative data that were generated from 63 student participants who studied isiZulu folklore education at a South African University. During the data gathering process, each participant told one folk narrative of their choice that was narrated to them earlier in their lives, they stated who the narrator was, the rationale for narrating the story, knowledge, and skill(s) learned from the story and they stated how the story influenced their lives. The findings revealed that isiZulu folk narratives are used to simplify life skills concepts such as decision-making, which might be difficult for young people to understand and implement. Using the Naturalistic Decision-making (NDM) theory that is entwined with the Recognition-Primed Decision (RPD) model, I argue that the folk narratives provide young people with knowledge about possible life situations and this sensitises them to their immediate environment, and sharpens their decision-making and survival skills. The decision-making concept is also part of the life skills education in the school curriculum of the South African schools. Therefore, this article presents a case for the appropriateness of an African folklore approach to be used in schools to scaffold difficult concepts in the pedagogy of life skills-based curriculum.

Historical data show that the risk of tuberculosis increases dramatically during adolescence, and young people face unique challenges in terms of case detection and effective treatment. However, little is known about the burden of tuberculosis among young people in the modern era. This study aimed to provide the first estimates of the global and regional incidence of tuberculosis among young people aged 10–24 years.Using the World Health Organization (WHO) database of tuberculosis notifications for 2012, we estimated the burden of tuberculosis among young people by WHO region. Adjustments were made for incomplete age disaggregation and underreporting, using supplementary data from several countries representing diverse tuberculosis epidemics.We estimate that 1.78 million (uncertainty interval (UI) 1.23–3.00 million) young people developed tuberculosis in 2012, accounting for 17% of all new tuberculosis cases globally. Young people in the WHO South East Asian Region (721 000, UI 473 000–1.35 million) and the WHO African Region (534 000, UI 359 000–912 000) experienced the greatest number of tuberculosis episodes.Young people suffer a considerable burden of tuberculosis. Age-specific burden of disease estimation for this age group is complicated by incomplete age disaggregation of tuberculosis data, highlighting the importance of continued surveillance system strengthening.
