Substance abuse in South Africa
Substance abuse is a significant public health issue in South Africa. Cocktails containing two or more low-quality substances have been reported, with Nyaope emerging as one of the most popular options widely available. Its use has a considerable impact on both individuals and communities.
Nyaope is increasingly becoming the 'drug of choice' among thousands of youths across South Africa. Although it is known by different names in various provinces, the same potent combination of ingredients is often mixed with bicarbonate of soda, pool cleaner, or even Rattex to enhance its potency and duration of effect.
