The MZ Ngwenya Foundation was established by Dr Robert Mogabe Ngwenya and his wife Zinhle (Mabena) Ngwenya with the aim of transforming the lives of those affected by drug abuse, particularly Nyaope (A popular drug among south African drug addicts). The foundation has popularised the fight against drugs through a concert held annually under the banner #NyaopeMustFall or #JoinTheMovement and is responsible for the rehabilitation of over 200 addicts over the past 4 years and clothing 50 to 100 homeless people on a monthly basis. It is a pillar of community building programs in the North West province and South Africa as a whole.
