\u201cWe are taking back the streets of Elsburg.\u201d<\/p>\n
These were the stern words of Prince Rulashe ahead of the Elsburg community march against drugs, last Saturday.<\/p>
\u201cToday we are marching against drugs, as Elsburg has become a drug hub,\u201d said Rulashe.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to eradicate drugs from our area.<\/p>
\u201cWe have seen an increase in drug usage and crime, as drugs and crime go hand-in-hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce a person starts using they are willing to do anything to support their habit, they steal and commit other crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The community of Elsburg came together to say enough is enough, in the hope of bringing an end to the scourge of drugs in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are here as a community to raise our voices and say no to drugs and away with drugs,\u201d said Rulashe.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want a clean Elsburg.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to reclaim our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n
This sentiment fits perfectly with the march\u2019s theme, Reclaiming Our Streets and Saying No to Drugs.<\/p>\n
The group of residents, and other stakeholders, met at the Elsburg Town Hall before marching down Voortrekker Street.<\/p>\n
