Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Helen Zille led a march against drugs through the streets of Johannesburg on Saturday.
A main concern is that drugs are being brought into areas once considered safe for children, said Westsiders against Addiction group chairperson George Pappas.
”… Our fight is against substance abuse, a problem that is growing and getting worse everyday,” he said.
Marchers took to the streets at the Brixton Recreational Centre in Braamfontein, wearing DA T-shirts bearing the slogan: ”No to drugs and save our children.”
Drum Majorettes and a mini-league soccer team led the march to the Jan Hofmeyr Recreation Centre, in downtown Johannesburg, where Zille was expected to speak. — Sapa
