Abahlali base Mjondolo will today host a
protest on issues concerning youth.
The protest will raise awareness and
concern about the use of a drug called wonga that young people are using.
Wonga users commit crimes like stealing
things and sell them to urge their cravings.
Once the drug is consumed, some people
commit other crimes like rape.
ABM Spokesperson Zodwa Nsibande said that that
their protest will raise awareness and concern about the use of the drug called
wonga that many of the young people had been involved into.
Nsibande added that this drug is a killer
to the young people who are our treasure.
“Young people turn to drugs like wonga
because they have no hope for their future,” said Nsibande
Furthermore Nsibande added that police must
also arrest the sellers of wonga.
Nsibande also said they need to build a society where
young people are respected, given good education, access to good sporting and
cultural facilities and can looking forward to decent work and a life in which
they can become respected members of the community.
