Set up during apartheid inthe 1960s, Chatsworth is an Indian township
near Durban which has been devastated in recent years by 'sugars' - a
highly addictive cut of heroin, mixed with rat poison to prevent blood
clots and any other powdered household goods - available to bulk it up
and make it cheap.
The withdrawals are agonising.
Sugars came to Chatsworth with addicted minibus taxi drivers from
Durban and cut through the youth like wildfire.
Those addicts whose families have any possessions of value steal from
their families, those who don't con and beg in car parks and steal
from shops.
Heroin addictions are notoriously difficult to treat, and the figure
quoted for long-term recovery is below 10%.
But in Chatsworth Sam Pillay, founder of the Anti-Drug Forum, thinks
he has come up with a combination of detox drugs and family therapy
rehabilitation which he wants the world to know about.
It's early days but he estimates that so far their success rate is in
the region of 60 - 80%.
Chervon Chetty, who is from a South African family of Indian origin
with roots in Durban, visitsChatsworth to see the impact of 'sugars',
and hear about the chance for change in addicts' lives.
