The KwaZulu-Natal Liquor Authority has urged parents to monitor their children's exposure to alcohol.
The authority's board visited Vikingozi secondary school this past week where it emphasised the importance of education to pupils.
The school, in KwaMakhutha, south of Durban, which has more than 600 pupils, had been earmarked as a beneficiary of the school visit programme by the board owing to socioeconomic challenges such as teenage pregnancy, alcohol and substance abuse, and abject poverty. The programme, “Children with a future do not drink”, provides support education and awareness to the underprivileged, specifically addressing challenges such as teenage pregnancy and drug abuse. Its goal is to shape the future of pupils, said Mbanjwa.The KwaZulu-Natal Liquor Licensing Act places importance on the authority's duty to implement measures aimed at reducing the socioeconomic and other effects of alcohol abuse.
