far he has fallen. period. you can see now rashes of i would like to talk to him showers surging across us with some clear interludes in between. some but he is too far gone. frosty night and by the end of the seing jesus has period there is the possibility again of another rapidly deepening brought back memories. low. that's a long way out and we will keep you posted as that in the space of five years, develops. the picture looks set to stay unsettled and it's a chillier outlook to come. i lost my twin nephews. both of my nephews were nyaope addicts. we tried our best to guide them to stop smoking this nyaope. at the end of the day, they ended up losing their lives. this is where my nephews have been laid to rest. i'm sitting here right on top of this grave,
9:34 pm
and i've got my two nephews laying here, who died for nothing. life is so cheap. the loss of my nephews has had a devastating effect on me and my family, but we are not alone. most families have been affected by nyaope, you only have to turn the radio on and tv, newspapers, you see stories of this drug every day. this is power breakfast.
9:35 pm
after what happened to my nephews, i am determined to helpjesus escape his addiction before he suffers the same fate. ifind him scavenging in an open sewer. like thousands of other addicts, he's desperate to buy his first fix of the day. he agrees to talk but seems distracted. i need to finish rolling and start... is there anything you wouldn't do if you didn't get a fix?
9:36 pm
9:37 pm
nyaope, you can always sink lower. as i discovered, some ofjesus‘ friends are going to potentially deadly extremes to feed their addiction. in search of a bigger hit, they are not only injecting the drug but also share the needle. are you not scared of hiv? these guys are already taking one hell 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 go further, this mixture of blood and nyaope will then be injected by the others.
9:38 pm
9:39 pm
my body was, like, you know, crumbling, he is going to inject that syringe. that is suicide, complete suicide for me. seeing jesus‘ friends risking their lives for nyaope has made me more determined than ever to try and save him. a few days later, a rehab centre has agreed to takejesus, and i go and try and find him again. i find 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?
9:40 pm
9:41 pm
9:42 pm
9:43 pm
but despite the cravings, jesus still seems determined. it's time for me to leavejesus. now he must fight his demons alone. 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.
9:44 pm
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? how much do you 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
9:45 pm
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? 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.
9:46 pm
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. hello. hi, hi, hi, myfriend. i am already 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 notice that nyaope is now very common in our streets, on almost every corner of our streets? yes, yes, most especially
9:47 pm
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 those police officers who is involved in crime. this cop is taking a big risk talking to me. it's very dangerous to cover up 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
9:48 pm
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, 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 known drug dealer. we have obscure their faces to protect his identity.
9:49 pm
this is pretty obvious. a police van pulls 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 in south african terms, cold drink means i will give 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.
9:50 pm
we have been supporting his treatment, and i've heard he's now clean 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? the hardest part was my first three days and the first week. those 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.
