United Kingdom – based musician, Ngonidza Kambarami, says his heart bleeds on seeing a spike in drug and substance abuse in many communities in Zimbabwe.
The 42-year-old musician, who was recently in the country on vacation, pledged to use his influence to raise awareness and campaign against this growing challenge.
“I was back home for a month and managed to visit Mabvuku and Tafara, where I was raised by my parents as a young man, but I was shocked by the extent of drug and substance abuse I saw and heard about,” he said.
He called for a collective effort to take on this national challenge.
“I might not have enough money to build rehabilitation centres, but my desire is to ensure that I use my voice in the campaign against this.”
“I have managed to engage a number of young men in Mabvuku and realised that the current generation needs to be saved. If these issues, like drug abuse, happen at your doorstep or nearby, you will understand them, and in my case, I was really touched.”
