The Laqhakaza Iphara Recovery organisation, Project Exodus and Norwegian Settlers Church were part of a successful recovery workshop held last weekend.
The attendees were all residents of four local municipalities – Umdoni, Umzumbe, Umuziwabantu and Ray Nkonyeni.
The People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) sector was also present and everyone received training and knowledge on addicts, addictions, harm reduction, national drug master plan, substance abuse structures and functions, the central drug authority and recovery in general.
“This training is not the end as all the teams who represent the PWUD sector in their local municipality are expected to be exposed to more in the field of recovery before they start helping themselves, families and the South Coast at large,” said Emmanuel Msomi of Laqhakaza Iphara.
“They will be introduced very soon to relevant stakeholders and start working.”
The organisers took note of the discipline of the PWUD sector representatives from each municipality, and appreciated the manner in which they carried themselves.
The workshop attendees thank Emmanuel and his team, Conrad Cooper of Projects Exodus and his congregation, as well as Mark Smith of the church and his congregation.
“We have ensured that we have well-trained people who will readily assist the Ugu District in terms of recovery.”
