The youngest is believed to be 13 years old.
Deputy Health Minister, Sibongiseni Dhlomo says the statistics are really worrying but they have a plan.
"That number is very worrying because it means on average we are talking about more than 50 teenage pregnancies per day, now you count 365 days in a year and that is how bad the situation is and it is really worrying," he said.
