The community of Elulakeni at the Shiselweni Region in Eswatini have an on going problem of their youth being involved in drug abuse. Their parents are unemployed thereby failing to pay for education for their children leading to an increase in young people dropping out of school to plant and sell dagga to support their families. They then tend to smoke the weed since they can easily access them. Unfortunately, they start stealing from their communities and other communities. To minimise the challenge of drug abuse at Elulakeni, the government must try to create employment opportunities and also enforce law against planting dagga in the country mostly in the rural areas and facilities to keep the youngsters busy when not at school and more vocational centers.
