“He is aggressive. He beats us, especially when he is under the influence of drugs. He beats me and his siblings.” “Sometimes people use substances and aren’t aware of the dangers of it and the full effects of it and the long-term effects of the substance. The important thing is to educate people on the different dangers of the substances and to understand what they are actually taking”

Hello Sir I have received another payment thank you so much I will invite all my friends to come and invest with your company thank you again Sir easy_to_earn80k

It's the most disturbing thing seeing young kids roaming arround asking for money in groups during school hours. And you can literally see these kids are on drug...I'm talking 8yrs Olds:(. Even the communities are giving up on the future of their own by being silent

What is the government doing.

Failed society, wonder whose to blame ?

Open borders🤷🏿‍♂️

Sad news, government must have a dedicated drug unit and arrest the drug dealers

Only the ANC to blame that kids so young taking drugs.....

If this is true, the this country needs to perform miracles not just today to avoid a complete economic collapse, but also it needs to perform miracles for a few more decades past this crisis to avoid a sort of societal armageddon.
