Nyaope 'bluetooth': South Africa's dangerous heroin craze | DW News 2019

Heroin is having a devastating effect on communities across South Africa. That's the conclusion of a study by an EU-funded project known as ENACT. A drug called Nyaope made of low-grade heroin is presenting a particular challenge. Users engage in a dangerous practice known as bluetoothing, in which the intoxicated blood of one user is injected into the veins of another. ENACT based its findings on interviews with gang members, drug dealers, users and police. They also found that the government and law enforcement are failing to tackle the problem. Some viewers may find some images in this report distressing.
