Mpumalanga’s Department of Social Development has highlighted substance-abuse awareness activity in the Gert Sibande District this week. Community roadshows play an important role in connecting residents with prevention information, treatment guidance and available support services. They also create space for families, young people and local organisations to discuss the effects of substance misuse openly. Residents who need assistance should contact qualified health or social-development professionals rather than facing the problem alone. Community radio can support these efforts by sharing verified service information and encouraging constructive conversations.
