Opis

South Africa, like the rest of the world is faced with an escalating problem of drug abuse. The emergence of a concoction termed whoonga has added a new and far dangerous dimension to the drug scenario. People suffering from HIV/AIDS are in constant danger of getting robbed of their life-saving medication. The reason for this robbery is that one of the prescribed tablets/medication is used as an ingredient to the whoonga concoction. This has put the governmental efforts to fight HIV/AIDS in serious jeopardy.
