Substance abuse and the occult in spotlight

- Conelia Harry

DRUG abuse and satanic and occult activities will be the focus of a community awareness event in Richards Bay next month.

The Abundant Life Centre (TALC), in partnershi­p with activist Trudy Pitout, will host a three-day ‘Warfare with a difference’ initiative on 4 to 6 May at 2 Bottlebrus­h Bend in Veldenvlei.

Leading the presentati­ons will be occult and drug abuse specialist Dr Kobus Jonker, former Commander of Organised Crime (SANAB) Stan Turketti and Life Building Coach and Pastor Ryno Turketti, who will share their experience­s.

Pitout encourages the public to take advantage of these informatio­n sharing sessions with some of the best minds on the respective subjects.

‘We are all painfully aware that substance abuse poses an enormous threat to the wellbeing of our community and our workforce.

‘Our education system is also severely compromise­d.

‘The devastatio­n caused by drug abuse is evident in our communitie­s and families are suffering and desperatel­y crying out for help. We want to inform people and help them identify the tell-tale signs of drug abuse and other harmful activities.

‘Our guests will do presentati­ons on the Friday evening at 7pm, Saturday morning from 9am to 11.30am and Sunday morning at 9am,’ said Pitout.
