Tik, or Meth, Plagues Cape Town

In the first half of 2009, 50 percent of all patients seeking treatment in South Africa’s Western Cape Province reported methamphetamine, or tik, as a primary or secondary substance of abuse. The drug only recently became popular, though – less than one percent reported abuse in 2002. This increase in treatment admissions for meth-related problems in Cape Town is the most rapid increase in admissions for a particular drug ever noted in South Africa.
