Fighting Drug addiction

-
 Here's the story: We sat down with a man who had a harrowing journey with addiction. He began by telling us about his early days in tertiary education, where he would occasionally smoke dagga with friends. However, his focus remained on his studies, and he worked hard to graduate and secure a qualification. After landing a job, he started building a life for himself. He got married, bought a property, and even splurged on a car. Life was good, and he felt like he was on top of the world. But one fateful night, while out with friends, he was introduced to heavier narcotics. At first, the experience was exhilarating. He described it as an elevation from the mild high of dagga to a level 5 high, where he felt invincible and euphoric. The effects would last for days, allowing him to party from Friday to Sunday without sleep. The problem, however, began to manifest on Mondays and Tuesdays every week, when the withdrawal symptoms would kick in, and he'd struggle to function at work....

Mamelodi Sundowns newly appointed chairman Tlhopane Motsepe has received the backing of the team’s co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi.

Tlhopane has assumed the top job after his father Patrice Motsepe was appointed Caf President on a four-year term.

TLHOPANE MOTSEPE HAS THE BACKING OF MANQOBA MNGQITHI

The billionaire’s son has reportedly been groomed to take over at Chloorkop for some time despite his lack of exposure to the media and general public and Mngqithi has described him as humble, intelligent and an excellent choice of chairman.

“The least I can tell you is that‚ this is one of the best decisions that a father can take. Tlhopie is a very good boy‚ he is very intelligent‚ he is very humble‚ he is very principled and for me, there is no chance that he will fail,” said Mngqithi.

The coach said that senior staff members at the club would do their utmost to ensure Thlopane is bedded in as seamlessly as possible at the Tshwane giants.

“He also has us as adults to assist him and because he is humble it will be easier for him to grasp all the right information that can make him a top leader,” the Sundowns coach added.

Mngqithi revealed that he and other top members of staff have worked with Thlopane on other projects at the club and is confident in the abilities of the Wits graduate.

LEADING SUNDOWNS INTO ANOTHER GOLDEN ERA

“Honestly speaking‚ I am looking forward to seeing him take charge,” added Mngqithi.

“Fortunately, he has been working with us in many other projects within the team, and one thing I can tell you is that if you have not met him‚ he is a very‚ very good person and you will like him.

“He is destined to become one of the best leaders to lead Sundowns.”

Under the guidance of Patrice Motsepe, Sundowns have established themselves as the most successful club in South Africa and also established a partnership with Tshwane’s other giants, the Blue Bulls, who often share their home of Loftus with Kabo Yellow.

Thlopane Motsepe has stepped in to take over from his father as a club chairman cannot hold the position of Caf President at the same time.

It has been suggested that his mother Precious will assist in running the ‘family business’ alongside long-time servant of Sundowns Dr Rejoice Simelani and his brothers Kgosi and Kabelo.
