South Africa:
Figures from those given out on Radio 702 by Dr. Jeffrey Setswe –
director of HIV/AIDS Research Institute at Wits University today.
20 MILLION people have died from HIV/AIDS worldwide.
More than two-thirds of those people were from Sub-Saharan Africa.
Therefore almost 14 MILLION people have died of HIV/AIDS in Sub-
Saharan Africa.
1 in 5 people in Sub-Saharan Africa are HIV Positive.
The prevalence of AIDS is highest in Swaziland - 39% of the
population are HIV positive
Botswana – 37%
South Africa – 22%
The latest trend emerging is that of "AIDS fatigue" where people are
sick and tired of the constant media focus on HIV/AIDS
TWENTY MILLION - for f**k's sake – that is THREE Holocausts.
But I will leave it to Lucky Mazibuko – a journalist with the Sowetan
newspaper.
After he was introduced on radio today as a person suffering with HIV
AIDS he said, "No, I want to correct you, I am not suffering with
HIV, I am living with it."
He went on to say that this disease is not about race, not about
black and white, it is about Humanity.
You can intellectualise the debate, you can racialise it ... but at
the end of the day, how does that help people?
Sorry ... but this pisses me off

and of course it'd help if our country actually had a feasable AIDS policy, not a health minister who suggests eating african potatoes and garlic

the only disappointment I've had with Brighton is the quality of the curries.
I'm used to the top quality curries of Nottingham & Leicester, as well as the occasional trip up the M1 to visit friends in some of the dodgy squats of Chapeltown, LS7 and same the local (equally good) dishes.

Well, it took quite a while to lower the tone there, didn't it? What can we do next, see how many steps it takes to get us from ethnic cleansing to piles?
