The centre's director believes drugs or alcohol may have played a role in the rape and murder of Anene Booysen. The 17-year-old was lured away from a pub on Saturday and taken to a construction site where she was repeatedly raped and then mutilated. This has sparked outrage with a StopRape campaign being mulled following this grusesome attack. On the line was the centres Ashley Potts. For more info visit www.drugcentre.org.za or call 021 447 8026
