University of KwaZulu-Natal master’s graduate, Ms Bontle Segobe, delved into the drug, whoonga, and the risky sexual behaviour associated with it.

Segobe graduated with a master’s in Populations Studies following her research into substance abuse (whoonga) and risky sexual behaviour of drug addicts in Durban.

‘I chose this topic because of a close friend who has been struggling to quit Whoonga for many years. I wanted to understand the perspective and experience of Whoonga users,’ said Segobe.
