The South African Royal Princess Network (SARPN) led by its acting Chairperson Princess Nandile Ndamase on Monday 17 November 2025, will visit Narconon Africa facilities in Pretoria with an effort to look at challenges including mental illness, crime, Gender Based Violence (GBV) including domestic abuse, child abuse, femicide which immensely affected the rural communities across the world.
The Narconon Africa programme consists of unique procedures to assist addicts to overcome drug or alcohol dependencies and its damaging effect. The programme’s goal is a drug-free individual.
According to Princess Ndamase, this a commitment to actively contribute and play a meaningful role in creating awareness and in the fight against drugs and alcohol abuse especially in deep remote areas. This is also a learning curve for the Royal Highnesses on the ways and means of dealing with this challenge.
The visit is facilitated by the Umbilical Private Equity (Pty) Ltd which plays an instrumental role in creating awareness in this regard.
According to Director of Umbilical Equity (PTY) Ltd Shoko Lukheleni, Narconon Africa believes that addiction is neither inherited nor an incurable disease that requires indefinite treatment. Nor is an addict an addict for life.
