Young people to be trained in drug counselling

By Busisiwe Mtabane

The Western Cape Social Services and Poverty Alleviation MEC, Ms Koleka Mqulwana, accompanied by Premier Ebrahim Rasool, will be launching the department's Siyabulela Campaign, at the Gugulethu Sports Complex today. The campaign will see one thousand unemployed and poor young people, mostly from rural areas, employed and trained in drug and substance abuse intervention mechanisms. The young people will subsequently be deployed throughout the province to provide counselling to people suffering from drug addiction.
