Moja Love’s (DStv 157) second season of the popular 13-episode reality series READY TO QUIT, starts filming in Klerksdorp’s @SANCA Sanpark Klerkdorp on Tuesday, 1 June – the start of Drug Awareness Month. Series host, ex-con and recovering addict Thabang Sefotho – now a life coach and founder of anti-drug organisation #Addiction Must Fall – is taking 15 drug addicts off the streets of Jouberton, Soweto and Brits, and giving them a second chance.
They’ll enter the rehab facility where, for 28 days, therapists, social workers, addiction counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists will guide them through a specially structured programme to help them shake their addictions and rediscover their potential. They’ll discuss their lives, how and why they started taking drugs, how their addiction has affected them, and we will see them start coming to terms with sober life. We’ll also meet their families as their therapists and social workers explore the underlying issues that left them vulnerable to addiction.
Drug addiction can take anyone down. Viewers will meet participants from all walks of life, who all wound up leaving home and living desperately from hit to hit.
The series is not the stereotypical drug addiction series, but it portrays a realistic version of high-functioning addiction, the pain associated with it and the destructive power it has on the addicts. Community members are fed up with drug addicts, and as a result, they have lost hope in them. To make matters worse, the outbreak of COVID-19 has exposed the rabid face of those addicted and highly dependent on this substance. The producers, however, believe everyone deserves a second chance in life and the necessary support to quit the addiction.
