​Last Friday, 13 October 2023, Moja Love presenter Xolani Khumalo from popular show Sizok’thola told learners at Soshanguve South High that the fight against drugs is aimed at benefitting their future.
He said, “I am an Explosives Engineer by training, but I chose to play my part and assist in the fight against drugs and substance abuse. As we are here today, we want you to walk free in your community and parks without fear of being mugged”.

Xolani was speaking to learners during Ke Moja Outreach program, which is an anti-substance abuse partnership program by the Gauteng Department of Social Development and Education, held at schools with the aim of sustaining a drug free environment in which learners and youth enjoy their freedom, develop intellectually, socially, economically, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

Giving the purpose of the day Social Development, Chief Director responsible for Social Welfare and Specialized Services, Tebello Mkhonto said, “The implementation of Ke Moja Program will be spread throughout the province by visiting high schools in the province to say Ke Moja, we are fine without drugs. Every week, we intend rolling out this program as we urge communities to join hands with the government to fight the scourge of substance abuse”.

The Ke Moja programme gives effects to the implementation of the National Drug Master Plan and the Gauteng City Region (GCR) Anti-Substance Abuse Strategy to reduce demand for drugs harm caused by drugs and supply of drugs in communities.

Substance abuse is an elevated priority program as pronounced by Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi earlier this year.
