What happened to Sol Phenduka's childhood friend?

Sol Phenduka recently opened up and shared a heartbreaking story about his childhood friend.

The Podcast and Chill co-host and father of two revealed that he grew up with a friend who developed a drug addiction at an early age, which later took over his life.

Twitter (X) user DALiii_Danger highlighted the damage crystal meth had done to his community, and Sol shared a touching story about how his friend's future and life were cut short all because of his addiction:

"Drugs are killing so many futures. My childhood friend died this year. He was hooked on drugs for over 20 years. He was such a good kid before the addiction."

DjlebzitoTsm responded:

"Another young man recently came back from rehab after spending almost 12 months there. I saw him yesterday hanging out with crystal smokers acting weird, worse, I hang with his brother sometimes."

nathi_dbn said:

"I’ve lost two childhood friends, and more are still hooked and live on the streets of CBD."

"Where I'm from, they call it jeopardise/ letompo. Two of my cousins are psychiatric patients. I lost my high school friend last year due to letompo. The hood is not going to recover anytime from now."

ronaldgm05 argued:

"That time, there is plenty of evidence being presented on national TV every week, and we still have repeat offenders. Illegal repeat offenders."

Sthe__King_ added:

"I blame unemployment. If people didn’t have a lot of time on their hands, they wouldn’t have the time to get addicted to something that doesn’t serve them."

ashseraka confessed:

"I would have been one of those drug addicts if I hadn't stood my ground. A good friend of mine tried to introduce them to me when we were around 20/21, and our friendship ended right there. I know myself, I have an easily addictive spirit. It all started with weed."

eskzul pleaded:

"You need to bring it up on your Pod as a topic. This thing is ravaging communities like crazy, 13/14 years olds are hooked."
