Hon Speaker, hon President, just this morning a lolly lounge in Coronationville Township in Johannesburg was raided. The community have been complaining about these lounges for a long time, and particularly about the hostel at the high school in this area.
We cannot rely on knee-jack reactions, such as those that we have seen in Eldorado Park. Apart from the ministerial team, is there a national task team that has been set up to develop short and long-term solutions? The National Drug Master Plan and the campaign that you speak of cannot become another talk shop.
Also, Mr President, given that the problem of drug trafficking and drug addiction is an international one, what measures are being put in place to control our porous borders against this scourge and to combat it? And, with whom in the international community are you liaising to establish best practice? Thank you.
