Alkoholmisbruik het \u2019n beduidende impak op Suid-Afrika en sy mense. Ten spyte daarvan dat ons een van die grootste wynprodusente w\u00eareldwyd is, word die land deur \u2019n groot probleem met oormatige drankmisbruik in die gesig gestaar.<\/p>\n
Cassandra Vilje van Robertson verduidelik hoe alkohol, maar veral die misbruik daarvan, tot talle negatiewe gevolge lei.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlkoholmisbruik is \u2019n groot probleem in ons gemeenskappe, met verreikende gevolge vir individue, gesinne en die samelewing as geheel. Dit is noodsaaklik dat die regering en gemeenskappe aksie neem om die kwessie aan te spreek en ondersteuning te bied aan diegene wat geraak word,\u201d verduidelik sy.<\/p>\n
Vilje, \u2019n gekwalifiseerde maatskaplike werker, is vir die afgelope dekade betrokke by \u2019n program wat op die rehabilitasie van alkoholiste en die bewusmaking van drankmisbruik by skole fokus.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy missie in die lewe sluit in die opvoeding en bewusmaking van die gevare van oormatige drinkery.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk glo aan die implementering van strenger alkoholregulasies en die verskaffing van toegang tot ondersteunings- en behandelingsdienste deur die staat vir mense wat dit benodig. Dit is \u2019n groot krisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sy wil ander help om optimaal in die lewe te presteer, die kundigheid te h\u00ea om die regte besluite te neem en ander te help sodat hulle weet daar is hulp beskikbaar.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het nie \u2019n probleem om \u2019n drankie te geniet nie, maar sommige mense kan nie anders as om hulself te vergryp of alkohol as \u2019n kruk te gebruik nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cMense moet die impak en effekte verstaan \u2013 op hulself en die samelewing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sy meen dat alkoholmisbruik die volgende effekte het op die gemeenskap:<\/p>\n
\n 1. Gesondheidskwessies:<\/b> Oormatige alkoholverbruik lei tot \u2019n reeks gesondheidsprobleme, insluitend lewersiekte, kanker en hartsiektes. Dit verhoog ook die risiko van alkoholverwante ongelukke, soos motorongelukke. In Suid-Afrika is alkoholmisbruik \u2019n groot oorsaak van dood, veral onder jongmense.<\/p>\n
\n 2. Misdaad: <\/b>Alkoholmisbruik is nou verbind met misdaad en geweld in Suid-Afrika. Dit dra by tot die ho\u00eb vlakke van gesinsgeweld, seksuele aanranding en ander misdade. Die land het \u2019n ho\u00eb koers van alkoholverwante misdaad, met baie van die slagoffers wat vroue en kinders is.<\/p>\n
\n 3. Maatskaplike kwessies:<\/b> Alkoholmisbruik het ook \u2019n beduidende impak op die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing. Dit ondermyn gesins- en gemeenskapsverhoudings, wat lei tot verhoogde armoede en haweloosheid. Dit lei ook tot die verwaarlosing van kinders en dra by tot die ho\u00eb vlakke van afwesigheid van skool en werk.<\/p>\n
\n 4. Ekonomiese koste:<\/b> Die ekonomiese koste van alkoholmisbruik in Suid-Afrika is aansienlik. Die land bestee groot bedrae geld aan die behandeling van alkoholverwante gesondheidsprobleme, die strafregstelsel en die maatskaplike dienste wat nodig is om mense te ondersteun wat deur alkoholmisbruik geraak word.<\/p>\n
