The Western Cape Liquor Authority together
with the South African Police Service started visiting schools to speak to
learners about the potential dangers of alcohol misuse.
This follows the findings by the Medical
Research Council which showed that grade 8 to 10 pupils in the province, 66
percent of them had or are consuming alcohol.
MEC of Finance, Economic Development and
Tourism Alan Winde said the campaign is specifically focussing on educating the
learners about the dangers of alcohol and impact and of drinking at such a
young age.
He added that part of the government
programme is to ensure that the youth of this country is responsible.
