Namibian youth plagued with drugs, alcohol and peer pressure

Namibian Children called on authorities to intervene with the thousands of shebeens and drug lords currently dominating the social arena. Almost every week a drug or alcohol related murder takes place across the country, yet the plight and calls by the public and learners alike seems to fall on deaf ears.
Nampa spoke to the deputy mayor of Windhoek who was the facilitator of the first ever National Children's Forum addressing topics that hamper the countries development. Not surprising that the free roaming of drug lords and thousands of uncontrolled shebeens ( informal drinking houses or waterholes as they are also known )  took the center stage. On why the police and law enforcement officials do not act upon tip-offs from the public to act and raid houses known for drug distribution remains a mystery. The public lately make use of a local daily's sms page to ask why the police do not act or raid some houses that are center in drug selling and supplying.
