South Africa News News

In this country where drug abuse is rife, I would like to salute the Tembisa Local Taxi Association (Telta) for playing its part in pushing back the frontiers of this scourge.

The association released a statement last week informing all taxi operators that anyone found giving money to young men who coordinate local trips for passengers would be fined and disciplined.

By just looking at their frail, tattered appearances, there's no mistaking the brutality of nyaope, or whoonga as it's known in other parts of SA. Telta has taken a profound and patriotic decision by imposing this regulation. Perhaps that will make the young addicts to seriously consider rehabilitation options.
