Most affected age group in Cape Town's Tik epidemic
Cape Town faces the worst methamphetamine (Tik) epidemic in South Africa. According to the South African Community Epidemiology Network on Drug Use (SACENDU), approximately 70% of all drug treatment admissions in the Western Cape are for methamphetamine, compared to just 9% nationally. This represents a public health crisis of unprecedented scale.
The epidemic affects all communities—from affluent suburbs like Constantia and Camps Bay to townships like Mitchells Plain and Hanover Park. Tik destroys lives indiscriminately, causing severe dental damage ("meth mouth"), psychosis, violent behavior, and family breakdown. Many Cape Town families feel hopeless, believing their loved ones are beyond help.

Success Story: Cape Town Tik Recovery
