Discussion | World Drug Day | Illicit trafficking drives gang violence

JOHANNESBURG - Communities like Ennerdale, Westbury, Phoenix and the Cape Flats have been decimated by drug abuse.

The illicit drug trade also drives turf wars between rival gangs.

Residents live in fear of running battles between gang members.

We recently heard that over 300 children were hit by stray bullets in the Western Cape since January.

So, on World Drug Day, let's discuss how to combat the scourge with Ennerdale activist, Kevin Koopman.

We are also joined by recovering addict, Sylvester Sauls, who now runs a rehab centre.
