It is natural for young people to undergo social and personal experimentation until they find their place in life. Unfortunately, during this phase, peer pressure can change them, their appearance, and their attitude. Peer pressure can cause young people to do unhealthy, sometimes even dangerous, things.

SANDILE MKHWANAZI is in his forties. He came to CYPSA for the first time in June 2015 to seek help as he was suffering from depression. After joining the CYPSA programme, he was helped through prayer and counselling, and for the first time in many years, he was able to sleep at night without the need to take medication. As time passed, he was allowed to work at the aQuellé water bottling plant. It has been a wonderful experience for him, and not only is he growing in his career, but he is also growing spiritually through prayers and counselling. He started working at aQuellé as a general worker and was 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 eventually facilitate external food safety audits for the company. I am thankful for the help that CYPSA gave me and that I have been given the chance to rebuild my life.”
