this time, spreading the message low centre tracks across the uk in baghouz to be over soon. space of five years, i lost my twin to young addicts that the drug overnight sunday into monday so through the late evening, the can be beaten. at ten o'clock, kate silverton midlands and northern england bearing the brunt of the worst of nephews. both of my nephews were the winds. 0n will be here with a full bearing the brunt of the worst of the winds. on a positive note, the low will clear off into the north addicts. we tried our best to give this time, spreading the message sea on monday morning so a difficult roundup of the days news. to nyaope addicts that the drug first, it's time for our world. can be beaten. rush hour across parts of northern but, across south africa, england but as the day pans out, the them and guide them to stop smoking dealers continue to push the drugs wind is quite light for many, they theirs. at the end of the day, they on the next generation. should be a lot of sunshine around ended up losing their lives. this is but there will be some showers, addicts are still hustling perhaps some more persistent, in to get the money to pay for their next fix, and i continue seven counties of england. look how where they would have been laid to to visit my nephew's grave, praying that other families can be much cooler it is, temperatures safe from the tragedy of nyaope. rest. i'm sitting here right on top widely in single figures. monday into tuesday, low pressure still to the north, the isobars are aligned of this grave, and i've got my two west to east, becoming quite well established in a band across the nephews laying here, who died for nothing. life is so cheap,. the loss central lowlands, southern uplands of scotland, some rain, maybe even some snow across higher ground. elsewhere, tuesday promises a reasonable amount of fine weather after a chilly —ish start, temperatures must get up into around of my nephews has had a devastating
9:32 pm
effect on me and my family but we are not alone. most families have the ten, 11 degrees mark. towards the ten, 11 degrees mark. towards been affected by this drug, you only the south—west, you can see cloud gathering once again and rain on the have to turn the radio one and tv, child, and this is our story for them another way, i think our newspapers, you see stories of this wettest a nd them another way, i think our wettest and windiest day of the drug every day. this is a power coming week after we get rid of freya on sunday. with chillier air brea kfast. drug every day. this is a power breakfast. i want to hear from you how this drug has affected your in the mix, we could see snow across life. i wanted to talk about my scotland, particular because higher ground but perhaps even to lower brother, he was smoking this. he levels just briefly. to the south, still managing temperatures in double figures. for thursday, though, perhaps a little bit wintry again across the north york moors as lives in the street... it clears away, we will be left with a northerly or north—westerly wind and that will make things feel after what happened to my nephews, i considerably chillier than we have been used to of late with am determined to helpjesus escape temperatures for the majority in his addiction before he suffers the single figures. we will see some same fate. i find quite chilly nights as well. on friday and beyond into next weekend, his addiction before he suffers the same fate. ifind him scavenging in an open sewer. like thousands of we look to ourjet friday and beyond into next weekend, we look to our jet stream friday and beyond into next weekend, we look to ourjet stream stream in the atlantic to see where our other addicts, he's desperate to buy weather is coming from. it is more
9:33 pm
his first fix of the day. he agrees spells of weather from the atlantic to talk but seems distracted. taken the form perhaps of some heavier showers for a time, some areas of low pressure, but they will his first fix of the day. he agrees to talk but seems distractedlj his first fix of the day. he agrees to talk but seems distracted. i need to talk but seems distracted. i need to finish rolling and start... and be some clearer gaps in between start lighting, and start smoking. time. so, really, the best way to sum it up is that things will be in the morning, it is held... changeable. we are looking more sure that it will be cooler than it has been of late. and certainly where we do see some of the clearer nights establishing themselves. that is how your longer term weather is looking for now. is there anything you wouldn't do if you didn't get a fix?
9:34 pm
how are you feeling? but feeding his addiction is a co nsta nt but feeding his addiction is a constant challenge. is it hard to get nyaope in the township? it's hard seeing just how lowjesus has fallen. but in the nightmare world of nyaope, you can always sink lower. as i discovered, some of jesusis lower. as i discovered, some of jesus is friends are going to potential deadly extremes to feed their egg stick —— addiction. they are not only injecting the drug but also share the needle. are you not
9:35 pm
scared of hiv? these skies are already taking one hail of a risk. but what i was about to see next was truly chilling. after injecting the nyaope, the addict draws his own blood back out into the syringe. to make the hit to go further, this mixture of blood and nyaope will then be injected by the others. what i am witnessing is sheer madness. there is riskjust before
9:36 pm
you do it but you are brave because of the cravings. when i saw that drawing blood from himself and injecting to the other one, it scared me most. my body was crumbling, he is going to inject that syringe. that is suicide, com plete that syringe. that is suicide, complete suicide for me. seeing jesus friends list —— risking their lives for nyaope has made me more determined than ever to try and save him.
9:37 pm
a few days later, a rehab centre has agreed to takejesus and i go and try and find him again. i find agreed to takejesus and i go and try and find him again. ifind him at one of his regular spots but it's not looking good, he's already smoking. i wonder if he will still feel the same about going into rehab. do you think you will miss this?
9:38 pm
jesus says his goodbyes. his resolve is strong. but i need to get into the centre before his centre —— before his cravings begin. the tenth commandment rehab centre claims to have a success break of over 70%. —— it runs a strict regime. jesus is looking tensed. —— it claims to have a su ccess looking tensed. —— it claims to have a success rate of looking tensed. —— it claims to have a success rate of over looking tensed. —— it claims to have a success rate of over 70%.
9:39 pm
joseph is a former nyaope addict who mentor is new arrivals. welcome, welcome, welcome. joseph sits jesus down welcome, welcome, welcome. joseph sitsjesus down and explains the centre rules. he looks scared but it is too late to back out. jesus has been addicted to nyaope for almost a decade. he will be kept under lock and key until he is cream. —— until he is clean. this programme may be his last hope for redemption.
9:40 pm
the next day, i return to see how jesusis the next day, i return to see how jesus is doing. but despite the cravings, jesus still seems determined. it's time for me to leavejesus. now he must fight his demons alone.
9:41 pm
i hope he can find the strength to beat nyaope. if he can, there's a chance he can rebuild his life and connect with his family again. thousands of young south africans are in exactly the same situation as jesus. but who are the shadowy people responsible for flooding our townships with the drug? through my underworld contacts, i have managed to find a nyaope trafficker who is willing to talk to me, but he is suspicious. i have heard he is a key supplier to thousands of local nyaope dealers. ok, the stuff we have here, how long will it last year?
9:42 pm
how much to get? one township, ten kilos. i can't imagine the misery this is causing. how does it make you feel, when you look at one of these people in the township who has lost hope in his life, just because he is smoking this stuff? all right, so this is basically for the sake of money. nyaope has long been illegal in south africa, so how can dealers like these operate so openly? how do you deal with the cops? all right, you just have to bribe them. how much money do you give a cop? is it only the junior—level cops, or up to the higher end?
9:43 pm
he is selling nyaope, and he doesn't care. what he cares about is money. i have lost my two nephews through this nyaope. i think, for me, the government needs to come in very strongly and arrest each and every person who is dealing in nyaope, because they are killing our society. i have managed to find a cop who is prepared to talk about corrupt officers, who are feeding off the drug trade. i am meeting him at a secret location.
9:44 pm
hello. hi, hi, hi, myfriend. i am around this area. 0k. he sounds a bit nervous, but he has promised that he is coming. we have disguised his identity to protect him. do you understand nyaope is now very common in our streets, on almost every corner of our streets? yes, yes, most especially in our townships. there, there is a lot of nyaope. it is killing our country, our community, our children and our brothers. how frustrating is it to you? i am trying to combat crime and protect members of the community, but some of our members, they are taking bribes from those who supply nyaope. how could the corruption be stopped? to stop corruption, arrest
9:45 pm
those police officers who is involved in crime. this cop is taking a big risk talking to me. it's very dangerous to us to cover that story. they can kill me and also my family. thank you for speaking to me, and be safe. you are welcome. the most disappointing thing about these police officers getting bribes from the dealers is that they are giving them the freedom to operate in our townships freely, and making drugs accessible to our children very easily. i want to find outjust how widespread the problem of corruption within the police force has become. a nyaope street dealer has agreed to wear a secret camera, but it is very risky. the cop sees him just after changing shift,
9:46 pm
and they will drive around the township seeing each and every dealer to collect money from them. it doesn't take long for a cop to take a bribe. over the next four days, our cameras capture police officers repeatedly receiving bribes from a non— drug dealer. we have obscure their faces to protect his identity —— known drug dealer. this is pretty obvious. a policeman goes in, and a dealer of nyaope comes with the police and tell them business is not good, but i will give you a cold drink. and then south african terms, cold drink means i will give
9:47 pm
you bribe money. for the love of money, they just collect money and they leave these drug dealers to roam around in our streets, sell drugs freely. so to me, this is not good. it is not good at all. not only to me, but to everyone else in our society. we put these allegations to the south african police service. in response, they said... they highlighted recent high—profile arrest the drug dealers in the johannesburg area. it has been six months since i leftjesus in rehab. we have been supporting his treatment, and i've heard he's now cleaned of nyaope. hi, jesus. hi, man. you are looking clean, you are looking very clean. very neat. you are looking... just look at you, man. i can't believe this is you. you are looking great, man. how has it been at the rehab?
9:48 pm
the hardest part was my first three days and the first week. there's pains, those sleepless nights, you know. i'm finding it hard to put words to it, because even the thought of it is, like, i can't. do you think you would ever go back? no. to smoking, no. i wouldn't go back to that. i am taking him home to meet his family, for the first time in years. i am a bit nervous, you know. i am a bit nervous, but yes. how is she going to react towards me, that is what worries me. what happens if your mum rejects you ? that's. .. that's going to hit me hard.
