As part of the campaign, learners performed a play titled: Primary School Calls, a powerful script that addresses bullying, peer pressure, and social media resilience.
Founder of JYE and script writer Mapula Mojela explained that the play touches on the issue of substance abuse, aiming to educate learners about the impact of these challenges on their lives. “Through creative expression and performance, the campaign encouraged open dialogue and awareness among learners in a meaningful and relatable way.”
South African National Council on Alcoholism and Drug’s community worker Constance Tsoka also gave a talk to the learners about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes.
