CHARLESHILL: Alcoholism in Charleshill is giving Kgosi Panapas Pitwane of Botshabelo sleepless nights. He says it has contributed to the rising crime in the village.

Pitwane said in an interview this week that alcoholism in Charleshill is shocking, saying that children as young as those in primary schools imbibed all types of alcoholic beverages ranging from sekhokho, mokoko o nchebile and khadi.

He said the village’s proximity to the Namibian border, makes it easy for children to travel to the neighbouring country to buy alcohol when local bars close at night.
