The TV personality, who recently released his autobiography I Ran for my Life, told Daily Sun: “I realised that the scourge in Eersterust has worsened. We have to go back and pick up where we left off. You can’t do enough messaging.
“I’m one sip of whisky away from a relapse. The community needs to hear from people who are clean that drugs can be beaten,” he told the publication.
The march will is endorsed by the Gauteng Social Development Department and will be followed by an address by Kabelo at the stadium.
