# The Department of Social Development is running a week-long community outreach programme in the Gert Sibande District, in Mpumalanga, to raise awareness about the dangers of drug use. The campaign includes visits to schools, taverns, and churches, including the commemoration of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking tomorrow. The department’s Bathembu Futshane says drug use in South Africa is growing, especially among young people, with alcohol and cannabis being the most common:
