“My life is restored”


It is  common for young people to engage in social and personal experimentation until they find their place in life. Unfortunately, during this phase, peer pressure can influence their appearance and attitudes, leading them to engage in unhealthy and sometimes dangerous behaviours.

Sandile Mkhwanazi, in his forties, first came to CYPSA in June 2015 seeking help for depression. Through the CYPSA program, he received support through prayer and counselling, allowing him to sleep better without medication for the first time in years. Over time, he was allowed to work at the aQuellé water bottling plant. This experience has been very positive for him, as it has provided career growth and spiritual growth through prayer and counselling. He initially worked as a general worker and was later promoted to forklift driver.

“At the beginning of 2022, I was allowed to study through the company and completed a one-year course in Stores and Warehousing Management. After completing several other short Food Safety and Internal Audit courses, I was again promoted. I am now being trained as an internal auditor to facilitate external food safety audits for the company eventually. I am thankful for the help that CYPSA gave me and that I have been given the chance to rebuild my life.”

KwaSizabantu also has a Youth Inclusion Program for those who dropped out of school due to the abuse of drugs. In terms of this program, former drug addicts can complete their high school career or pursue tertiary qualifications. The program also provides skills development and employment opportunities.
