The National Youth Development Agency said it is fighting drug abuse in the Western Cape Schools. 

NYDA partnered with the South African National Council of Alcoholism to train 520 learners in the province. 

Young people from different communities will be responsible for helping learners in the early stages of drug use for professional counseling, as well as running on-going awareness and prevention campaigns.

Chairperson of the NYDA Yershen Pillay added today marked the graduation of those 520 young peer counselors who will be expected to counsel their peers in schools and communities.
