NPO fights drugs in Gugulethu
Vukani
|May 01, 2025
A Gugulethu-based non-profit organisation has sent out a strong message to young and old to change their behaviour and contribute to the fight against substance abuse.
Rebuilding and Life Skills Training Centre (Realistic) brought together 18 primary schools at the John Pama Primary in Nyanga on Saturday April 26 to celebrate Freedom Day under the annual programme, Funda Sidlala.
The programme included indigenous games and educational aspects.
Realistic was started in 2004 by a former correctional services officer, Solomon Madikane, in partnership with the National Prosecution Authority after he saw a need for a support and bridging programme for ex-offenders.
The organisation works with youth aged between 16 and 35, with a special focus on the reintegration of ex-offenders, some of whom were sent to the programme by the courts.
The organisation continues to advocate for the rights of vulnerable groups, especially children.
