In celebration of Heritage Month, Sanca Central Rand Alcohol and Drug Centre , teamed up with the community of Westbury along with its various stakeholders to host the first of its kind, human chain against drugs and gang-related violence in Westbury, proving that Drugs and Gangs are not our Heritage.
This event was held in honor of those who died at the hands of drugs. This event was also held to encourage the community of Westbury to take hands and work together. We can only fully eradicate drugs and gangs if we work on strategies as a collective, thus creating a better Westbury for all.
The various school children from Westbury Primary School, Westbury Secondary School, Dowling Primary School, Everest Primary School, Newclare Primary School, and Bernard Isaacs Primary School chanted war cries like “Genoeg is genoeg, ons is dik van tik, drugs maak klaar en Jesus maak nxa.” A keynote speaker who addressed the crowd made use of the following phrase: United we stand and divided we fall.
Was this the dawning of a new era for the community of Westbury? Only time will tell.
