The author guides readers through the grim reality of the hazard of drug addiction in series of chilling stories told to offer hope and support to other victims struggling with the disease of addiction. It is a difficult story to narrate, but when someone dares all the odds to tell us the truth, it becomes a veritable source of inspiration and uplifting guide for people battling with similar problem; it also provides a soothing indulgent to cope with the emotional hurdles besetting family members of the addict. The book offers profound insight into the unimaginable havoc that the various forms of addiction has caused and continue to cause in the society, extending solutions to those still traversing the dark path. Not only has Ndabezinhle survived hell after losing all he has worked for, he amazingly lived to tell the story, forging a path to a life worth living. He is now the founder and chairperson of The GOODNEWS Company, a Non-Profit organization that provides rehabilitation and support for addicts." SOURCE: Loot.co.za

I am currently in Shanghai they don't understand English very well let alone IsiZulu. Whenever I am listening to your podcast they ask me how do I connect to radio yelanguage yami. Now they are learning how to pronounce your name 'Nongcebo' The way they are pronouncing your name makes me laugh. This podcast is very educational.
