The South African Breweries (SAB) is encouraging young adults to ‘Be the mentor you wish you’d had’ as part of the 18+ campaign to prevent underage drinking.
SAB hopes to inspire a movement of change with mentors across the country pledging to accept responsibility for educating a younger friend or relative about choices and their consequences.
150 South Africans from around the country aged between 23 and 30 years old have been appointed to champion the cause and rally other South Africans to rise to the challenge of being a mentor. These young adults will share their stories of the mistakes they made in their teenage years and the advice they are now be able to share with their younger mentees.
