Alcohol & Drug Concerns

Foundation for Prevention

ALCOHOL AND DRUG CONCERNS FOUNDATION originally called the South Africa Temperance Alliance (S.A.T.A) was established in 1889 by a group of like minded people in Cradock.

People from all walks of life and denominations became alarmed at the ever-increasing scourge of alcohol – especially on farms. It campaigned vigorously against the “dop” system, the banning of liquor at sporting events, etc. A range of publications are in existence documenting the evidence of the initiatives and successes of S.A.T.A.

In 1990 at an Annual General Meeting a decision was taken that the South Africa Temperance Alliance (S.A.T.A) would embrace a name change to Alcohol and Drug Concerns, in order to keep abreast with the times, due to the widespread scourge of hard drugs.

Entrenched into our constitution is the promise that we shall in all ways strive for an alcohol and tobacco free way of life which means the advocating of total abstinence.
