Anti-Substance abuse and Illicit trafficking Drama - New Hope Secondary

Johannesburg 21 June 2017, Alcohol and drug abuse is a serious problem in South Africa. Alcohol and drug abuse are considerably associated with suicide and violence. Statistics released by the Hospital Association of South Africa (HASA) showed that there was a growing number of patients younger than 20 years being admitted to treatment centres across the country. New Hope Secondary School learners performed drama during the youth day celebration in Midvaal on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Gender Based Violence and HIV/AIDS. The main aim was to create an awareness to those that are the survivors of GBV and alcohol and drug abuse to stop and seek professional help. The abuse of alcohol and drugs is threatening to destroy many families. Some parents live in fear of their children who bully them and neighbors, due to drug and alcohol abuse. Some women in Midvaal said their intimate partners are abusing them; however, some women said they were afraid to speak out even when they were harassed in public spaces. The drama performed by young students from New Hope Secondary School brought light on issues of GBV, HIV/AIDS, and alcohol and drug abuse. The community thanked the Midvaal Local Municipality for hosting the event for them.
