[ANALYSIS] Desperate for next fix: Heroin-based 'nyaope' grips South Africa

AFP/Mujahid Safodien

"The thing that made me start smoking nyaope was stress, I had too much stress in my life. So I ended up relying on nyaope to calm me down," said the frail and distant-eyed 28-year-old. "That is why you find guys at street corners always sleeping. From the moment when you get the fix, you forget all the problems," said the nyaope user in Soweto.

Shaun Shelly, founder of the SA Drug Policy Week awareness programme, agreed, saying"as a total stranger you could probably get heroin there in 15 minutes on the street."

Drug addiction is an illness n can be cured. It's the most difficult thing hands down to conquer but I myself as a former nyaope n other drug addict can confirm its possible. This people need our help, they cant do it alone.
