Recently he has been to Mpontsheng, Thukhuthabo, Ponego, Lethukuthula, Fumana and Alafang secondary schools, where he used his campaign to educate learners about the dangers of using drugs. At all the schools where he has conducted the campaign, he has received a warm welcome.
Mulenga, who is famously known as Moolanair in the music industry, believes there is more the youth can do. He said the youth has so much potential, but that potential is being dimmed by their attempts to live the fake lifestyle portrayed on TV.
“We know that drugs have been affecting the learners in schools and we are trying to change that. It’s better if the message is coming from someone they can relate to. As an artist, I know that I can influence the youth,” said Mulenga.
He said as he went to schools he learnt that the youth have been brainwashed into believing that doing drugs is cool.
“As an influencer, I am trying to change that mentality.”
