segregation of the

National Party (NP)
began to imple-

for legal political

Their goal was to
have political and
economic control
of South Africa by
the white minority.
Total racial control
grew in every as-
pect of life.

able to go to universities and there were many

townships. These were living areas reserved for
non-white people. Marriage between white
people and non-white people became a crimi-
nal offence. Non-whites could not socialize with
whites or have a voice in government. They
even could not travel outside their areas with-
out government approval. They became pris-

South Africa has a rich and complicated history.
It all started with the San and Khoekhoe people,
the earliest people we can name. These nomadic
people lived by hunting animals in the Southern
parts of South Africa. The written history began
with the coming of the Europeans. They con-
quered different parts of South Africa. The history

one of the most interesting is the apartheid era.
This era can be divided in the racial segregation,
the apartheid itself and the end of the apartheid.

leader, Nelson Mandela, was sentenced to life
in prison. In 1989, F.W. De Klerk became the presi-

For people with a lot of money there are some
high-tech health services in the private sector
available. The public sector provides healthcare
to 80% of the people in South Africa. There has
been coming a lot of foreigners to this private
sector who are looking for cheap but good
healthcare. There are some big differences in
the quality of care and in the opportunities to
give good care with good medical equipment
between the private and public sector and they
want to remove this gap between this two sec-
tors.
Ihe f(:I Lic ciffe(ence LeIween Ihe p(ivcIe cnc
public sector is the presence of good materials
and medicines to care for the people. The pri-
vate sector have a lot of high-tech tools to care
for only 20% of the population of South Africa.
They have enough medicines to care for these
people. But only people with an insurance or
people with an high income can use this hos-
pitals because its really expensive. The people
with a lower use the public hospitals. This is 80%
of the population as I said before. Its hard for
the public sector to care for all these people
because they are under-resourced. There is not
always enough material or medicine to care for
them.
South Africa dont produce much medical
equipment. They import about 90% of all their
medical equipment. They import from US, Ger-
many and Japan mostly. In 2006 South Africa im-
port for 758.2 million dollar. They expect that this
amount will rise with 11% in 2012. The most of this
equipment goes to the public hospitals and will
help to improve the quality.
The second thing that causes another big dif-
ference between the both sectors are the doc-
tors and nurses. There are over 25.000 doctors
registered in South Africa. These doctors care
for a population of 40 million people. The doctor
to population ratio in South Africa is higher that
that in countries like Mozambique, Nigeria and
Chile but lower than that in other countries like
Brazil, Greece, and Britain.
In 2009 there was a national study of the satis-
faction of nurses in both the private and public
sector. Work satisfaction is important because it
hc: :cme infuence cn Ihe cuc|iIy cf wc(k. Ihe
results of this study were that private-sector nurs-

pay and the resources available to
them. Actually, they are only satis-
fec wiIh Ihe :ccic| ccnIexI cf Ihe
work. This is also a cause of the bet-
ter quality in private hospitals.
The government of South Africa
wants to give good care to all of
the people, both in the private and
public sector. So there are a lot of
prwojects which try to improve the
public sector so all people can get
good care.
The government launched the
Hospital Revitalisation Programme.
This programme want to improve
the hospital infrastructure, procure-
ment of the necessary equipment
and management skills. For all this,
the government need some mon-
ey. They will invest a total budget of
1.9 billion in this Hospital Revitalisa-
tion Programme.
There is also an organization
in South Africa called CATHCAs
(Catholic Health Care Association
of Southern Africa). This is a catholic
organization who wants to provide
a high-quality affordable health
care service to all. The Cathcas
consists of doctors, some nurses,
some community health workers, or
other health professionals. There are
also a lot of volunteers who works as
home based caregivers, adminis-
trators, bookkeepers, or looking af-
ter orphans or the elderly in homes
and care centres.
They do this work in all the nine
provinces of South Africa and also
in Botswana and Swaziland. They
work in 38 clinics, two hospitals and
a lot of old age homes, hospices
and orphanages. Healthcare in
South Africa improves every year,
both the private and public sector.
The private sector is still growing. In
2004 there were 161 private hospi-
tals and now in 2008 there number grows to 200.
But the public sector grows also and get more
money, equipment and doctors than before.
The aspects of the healthcare in South Africa
Healthcare in South Africa has a lot of differences with
the healthcare in our own country. Healthcare in South
Africa consists of a public sector and a private sec-
tor. There is free healthcare which is very basic but helps
the people with less money a lot. It is only free for chil-
dren under six and for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.

There are still differences in the quality of care
between the public and private sector but they
are trying to minimize it with all the projects they
have and the projects that will come.

During the World Cup, 64 matches will be played
in nine South African cities and ten different sta-
diums. This means that 64 times two national
football teams (plus staff) and thousands of fans
are in and around these stadiums. Therefore the
quality of the stadiums is of major importance.
This is not only important for the quality of the
matches, but the stadiums will also be the home
of thousands of supporters. Therefore the gov-
ernment has to improve the South African sports
and recreation facilities.
The improvement of the match venues will
cost around R8.4 billion. Five of the ten stadiums
are existing stadiums, which only need some

c(e fni:hec. ScuIh /f(icc i: ccnvincec IhcI Ihe
other eight will be due on time. Beside the ten
stadiums, the different host cities will also invest
in other sports venues. These venues may be
used as training facilities. These Stadiums and
recreation facilities are one of the legacies af-
ter the World Cup. There will be sports facilities in
areas were they have never had these facilities
before. This will also help to promote a healthy
lifestyle through sports.
The transport program
is another key area
of the organization of
the World Cup in South
Africa. This program,
also known as the 2010
Transport Action Plan,
consists of transport
and safety. This is im-
portant for the smooth
and safe movement
of the national teams,
fans, media and FIFA of-
fcic|:. Ihe ScuIh /f(iccn
transport system will get
a big makeover: Roads
and railroads will be ex-
panded and the public
transportation system
will be improved. After
the World Cup South African citizens will have
better public transportation. The citizens will be
able to travel faster and saver and that is a big
progress in the development of South Africa.
Safety is also of great importance. 100.000 spe-

have an improved Public transport system with
more buses and trains and an expanded infra-
structure. These are also very important legacies,
especially for the South African citizens.

cause of the FIFA World Cup is the economic
boost it will give. It is estimated that the World
Cup will create 159.000 new jobs. South Africa
expects about three million visitors. These visitors
are going to spend their money on food, sou-
venirs, trips and so on. Grand Thornton, a global
consulting organization, estimates that the event
will contribute at least R51.5 billion to South Af-
ricas gross domestic product.
For one month South Africa will be the center
of attention of the world. It will be the home of
32 teams and hundred thousands of fans. On
top of that billions of people will follow the event
from their livingroom. Hosting such a big event is
a big responsibility and South Africa has a lot to
prove. But the event will also leave some great
legacies such as modern sports facilities, an im-
proved transport- and safety system and
economic growth.

Hamilton Naki was born in a poor family in Ngc-
ingane. He was only educated to sixth grade
and he left school when he was 14. Because
there was no work in his country he moved to
Cape town where he stayed for the rest of his
life. He lived in a tiny room in quarters for migrant
workers. The location of this room was in a black
Icwn:hip cn Ihe Ccpe fcI:. cc||ec Lcncc. Hi:
family stayed in Ngcingane and he supported
them with his wages.
He worked as a gardener at the Cape Town
University and Groote Schuur Hospital. He was
always on time at work and always took his bi-
ble with him. At one day the professor of surgery,
Robert Goetz, asked Naki to hold a giraffe for him
so he could operate the giraffe. Naki liked it and
Goetz was impressed by Naki. Goetz asked him
to work in the laboratory. Naki was very enthu-
siastic and said that he was willing to do it. Naki
learned a lot from Goetz and became skilled at
a lot of things like catherisation, suturing, intuba-
tion, anaesthesia etc. When Goetz left Cape
Town and moved to America, Christiaan Bar-
nard replaced him. Naki worked also for Barnard
and learned other things from him. Barnard was
experimenting with open heart surgery.
In 1967 the 26 year old Denise Darvall was
knocked down by a car. She had a lot of se-
vere head injuries and after a few hours they
declared her brain dead. Naki noticed that her
heart was healthy. He took her heart and gave
it to Christiaan Barnard. Barnard transplanted it

This action of Naki was a criminal offence by
the apartheid laws. This was because he was a
black man and he took a heart from a white pa-
tient. In that time it was very bad when a black
man touched a white man and especially white

and never had an education. Naki told every-
one he was a gardener and never told anyone
about his heart trans-
plantation because
it was a criminal of-
fence. On the other
hand, Christiaan Bar-
nard was worshipped
by everyone. He be-
came very famous
and rich because he
was a white man. Af-
ter the end of apart-
heid in 1991 Barnard

to technician and
more later to senor
technician of animal,
surgeon and surgical
tutor.
Hamilton Naki died at
the age of 78 in 2005.

Miriam Makeba was born on March 4,
1932 in Sophiatown, a small town near Jo-
hannesburg. She began to sing when she
was eight years old and joined the school
choir. The start of her professional music
career was in the 1950s. She went on tour
with the popular music group the Man-
hattan Brothers and starred in the jazz-
mu:icc| 'Kinc Kcnc in Lcnccn. She ccI
internationally known when she featured
in Come back, Africa, a documentary
about the South African apartheid re-
gime.
In 1959 Mrs. Makeba moved to the Unit-
ed States. With the help of her American
colleagues, Harry Belafonte in particular,
she became internationally famous. Six
years later she won a Grammy for their
album An evening with Belafonte/Make-
Lc. She wc: Ihe f(:I L|cck /f(iccn wcm-

about the banishment when her passport
got denied when she wanted to attend
her mothers funeral. It would take more
than thirty years before she came back to
South Africa.
Miriam Makeba joined the United Na-
tions in 1963 and became a spokesper-
son against apartheid and racism. These
subjects were also very prominent in her
songs, which she sang mostly in her native
language. After his release from prison,
Nelson Mandela convinced Miriam Make-
ba to return to South Africa. In 1990, thirty-
one years after her banishment, Miriam
Makeba returned to her home country.
On November 9, 2008 Miriam Makeba
died of a heart attack. That night, South
Africa not only lost an award-winning
singer but also lost one of their great sym-
bols against apartheid and racism. Mama
Africa will be missed.

As a young boy, living in a small village, Nelson
had no idea about the white apartheid govern-
ment in his country. He found out when he went
to university. He studied to become a lawyer be-
cause he wanted to help black South Africans.
Nelson Mandela wanted to educate them, he
wanted them to have good jobs and he wanted
black and white people to be in the South Afri-
can government.
He became a member of the African Nation-
al Congress, the oldest black (now multiracial)
political organization in South Africa, to contin-
ue hi: fchI cccin:I Ihe (ccic| :ec(eccIicn. Ihe
organization began as a nonviolent civil-rights
group but later on it merged with other groups
and became more violent. For that reason the
organization was banned and its leader, Nelson
Mandela, was sentenced to jail.
During his years in prison, Nelson Mandelas rep-
utation grew steadily. But even though he was in
prison, Mandela continued to be a beacon of
hope for his people who carried on the struggle
against Apartheid.
At 11 February 1990, Nelson Mandela was, af-
Ie( 27 yec(:. fnc||y (e|ec:ec f(cm p(i:cn in ScuIh
Africa. In 1993 he won the Nobel Peace Prize
for his work with the movement. Mandela ac-
cepted the Nobel Peace Prize as an accolade
to all people who have worked for peace and
stood up against racism. A year later, the African
National Congress won South Africas elections.
Mandela became the president of South Africa

African languages. Zukamis colours are yellow
and green because those are the colours of the
national South African football team.

Does South Africa has enough stadiums for the
tournament?
We made a list of ten stadiums that are going to
be used for the World Cup. Three new stadiums
and two new practise grounds are to be built.
Five of the existing stadiums have to be upgrad-
ed.

How save is South Africa for the tourists who are
going to visit the FIFA World Cup?
The government has assured all the people who
will be coming to the tournament that they will
be safe in South Africa. There is a huge budget
for crime prevention and justice services. FIFA
has endorsed that South Africa has the ability
to manage the security for such an event. The
South African police has made an excellent,
comprehensive work schedule. It will satisfy eve-
ry requirement for the event.

Is there a chance that this World Cup tourna-
ment could fail?
This World Cup can never fail. We will make sure
no one demotivates us, or tries to make us fail. It
is the responsibility of South Africans to make this
World Cup a success.

Discover South Africa with all your senses is the
theme of the festival. The festival will be hold on
Ihe 4Ih cf NcvemLe( cI Ihe Enc|i:h G|cLc| Livel
Festival. In just 20 minute we want to give you a
tour to South Africa and show you why this coun-
try is so special. Everything we will show you is
because of we think it is an interesting way to
show South Africa. During the festival you can
listen to music of Miriam Makeba while watch-
ing the beauty and diversity of South Africa.
Miriam Makeba also know as Mama Africa,
was an award-winning singer and also one of
South Africas great symbols against apartheid
and racism. Unfortunately she died on Novem-
ber 9, 2008. The song we will be playing is called
Malaika. You will see a lot of art during the slide
show: the art of the nature itself, the cities, the
architecture and of course the inhabitant of this
beautiful country. We are also going to show you
what so special is about different places in South
Africa. If you want to see something and listen
to South African music, you absolutely can not
miss this.
This is of course not everything we want to
show you during the festival. We have arrange
a special quest for an interview, because the
Fifa world cup will be given in South Africa we
thought it was good to do an interview about
this subject. We chose for Tim Modise because

We are going to do a dance workshop dur-
ing the festival. We chose to do this workshop
because it gives a good idea of the South Afri-
can dance. Dancing is a very important aspect
of South Africa. This workshop will be give by
Nkachika. The reason why we chose for Nkachi-
ka is because she is a good dancer and gives a
clear explanation.
After the dancing it is nice to eat something.
Bobotie is a traditional dish in South Africa and
has a mixture of ingredients from different parts
of the world. There are different ways to make
bobotie and we will let you taste some bobotie.
If you want to learn how to make your own bo-
botie, you can go to cook workshop we organ-
ized. This cook workshop will not be held during
the festival, but a week later on Monday No-

A magazine about South Africa, I have never seen some-
Ihinc |ike Ihi: Lefc(e. Ihe mccczine i: w(iIIen Ly fve :IucenI:
who have discovered South Africa in their own way. They
write about this country and its culture in this magazine. It is a
pleasant and easy way to read and learn something about
South Africa.
ln Ihi: mccczine Ihe(e i: c ce:c(ipIicn cLcuI fve fcmcu: pec-
ple in South Africa. Its enjoyable to read something about
people like Nelson Mandela but its not very instructive. Its
more instructive to read about the other famous people like
Hamilton Naki because he is not that famous.
There are also different aspects of South Africa in this maga-
zine. It gives a good overview of South Africa. For example, a
story about healthcare in South Africa. It gives a good idea
of the healthcare for people who dont know much about it.
It iss also nice to learn more about this country.
It is a very interesting magazine for people who dont know
much about South Africa and want to get an image of this
beautiful country.

From wildlife to culture and the beach to the
beautiful nature and the various cities. There is
also a lot of history and it is just an opportunity
you can not miss. There is a lot of tourism in South
Africa. That is the reason I am going to tell you just
a little bit about South Africa in basically a tour to
the top 3 tourist attractions in South Africa. When

there is a lot more to see in South Africa, it is a

Cape town. There is a lot to do in this South West-
ern place with a little bit of Dutch roots shown.
The landscape is absolutely beautiful from the
beach to the vineyards to the Table Mountain.
You can enjoy this place by walking through the
town and on the beach or with a more active
way like climbing the Table Mountain or follow
one of the hiking routes. There is also a possibil-
ity to go whale watching. Cape town is maybe
one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Also located in the western cape are the wine
lands. Wine from South Africa is well known and
it is an opportunity to see where this wine is from.
There are a lot of tours through the wine lands
and there is a possibility to see the wine lands

tourist attraction. Besides the tours
there are also museums where
you can see how the wine is made
and dont forget the wine tasting.
From Cape Town there are ferry
rides to the Robben island. Nelson
Mandela has been imprisoned for
27 years on the Robben Island be-
fc(e he Leccme Ihe f(:I p(e:icenI
of South Africa. The prison is still
there, but it is not used as a pris-
on anymore. The ferry ride takes
about a half an our and gives the
opportunity to spend 2 to 2,5 hour
on the island. On the island you
can get a guided tour or go to the
museum on the Robben Island.
Well known about South Africa
is the opportunity to see wildlife
up close on a safari in the Kruger National Park
where our next stop is. The Kruger Park is locat-
ed in the north east of South Africa and offers

One trip to South Africa is not enough

A tour to the top 3 you ca n not miss in South Africa

in Africa and you can not miss this on your trip

to South Africa. One day is certainly not enough
to see everything in the Kruger Park. The park is
somewhere around 2 million hectares big. There
are different way to see the wildlife in the park,
you can see by driving, biking, hiking or even
walking. There are also a lot of accommoda-
tions to stay longer then one day, reservation is
required.
Ihe fnc| LuI ncI Ihe |ec:I :Icp i: cI Jchcnne:-
burg and Soweto. Johannesburg is a big city in
South Africa with a population around 3,2 million.
Johannesburg is also called Joburg and the city
of the gold. The name comes
from the gold that was found in
the mines by Johannesburg. It
is now the main centre for the
economic in South Africa. Most

it is for the most tourists the start
and the end point of there journey
to South Africa. A big difference to
Johannesburg is Soweto. Soweto is
located south west of Johannes-
burg. Soweto stands for South West
Town. It is a popular living area for
black people. There used to be a
lot struggle between black and
white and there was a lot racial
discrimination. Only recently that
government helps with providing
things like electricity and running
water. Soweto is one of the most
popular places in South Africa and
it would be shame if you didnt see
it.
There are a lot of reasons to go

make a choice about what you
will going to see during your trip.
However you cant miss going to
the Western Cape, taking a safari on Kruger Na-

the cities of Johannesburg and Soweto. Every

Receiving all of these prizes say something
about the appreciation of his writing. It is a
Lic ciffe(ence wiIh Ihe puL|iccIicn cf hi: f(:I
novel which causes a lot of revolt in the liter-
ary circles of South Africa. With his novel he
broke with some of the traditions that where
used in a colonial novel at that time. Howev-
er, he continued in writing new novels and got
to speak to his readers with his written words.
He started writing around 1969. His live and
the places where he has lived and has been
to, has an impact on his writing. A lot of his
books have something to do with South Af-
rica. He wrote about the colonization and
other parts of the history of South Africa. How-
ever, he manage to write it in a timeless way.
He is different than other writers from South Af-
rica because of his cosmopolitan live. He has
been to many parts of the world.
In the text box given on the right side of this
page, some facts are shown about his live
and some general information about what he

Translating Dutch and Afrikaans literature is
also something he did and of course he has
educated students at the University of Cape
Town, the city where he was born in 1940.
Hi: f(:I ncve| Duk|cnc:" wc: puL|i:hec in
1974. In this book he described the contrast
between the Americans in Vietnam and the
Dutch settlers in South Africa. His books shows
the effect of the colonization. The textbox giv-
en below/ on the next page shows a list with
some of the novels John Michael Coetzee
wrote.
On the website of the source answers.com
they say about his book Waiting for the Bar-
barians the following: The novel clearly em-
braces many themes at the heart of the South
African condition. Therefore he has an im-
pact on people with his words and they way
he described different events about South
Africa. Not only about the history of South Af-
rica, but also about some events of his own
live, he wrote. His latest novel summertime
was published this year. It is about his memoir
in c fcIicn wcy.
When you want to know why he received so
many prices for his novels, you have to read
one or more of his novels.
John Michael Coetzee

In 1989 he was mad at the ANC leadership for
not inviting him and Buthelize, the Chief Minister,
to a rally to welcoming back the Rivonia trialists,
who had been released from prison after almost
three decades.
There are a lot of Zulu traditions and customs
and therefore the king has some cultural func-
tion such as the Umhlanga, the symbolic and
colourful reed dance ceremony. This ceremony

fruits ceremony, the Ukweshwama, in which he
has a traditional function involving certain tradi-
tional rituals.
The king of the Zulu nation has been criticized
for overspending on luxury while most of the
population in Kwa-Zulu is living in poverty. He
bought things like Mercedes Benzes and expen-
sive things for his wives. The income per capita in
South Africa is about $4,960. The royal household
has spent about $123,500 on luxury things alone
in 2006.
The Kings authorized biography, King of Good-
will, was published in 2003. The book is about the
prophecy related to the Zulu Royal family by a
soothsayer who came from afar with a message
from the ancestors of the family to tell about the
birth of a child who was surrounded by the spir-
its of three great Zulu Kings. During the birth, no
bare hands could be allowed to touch the child
who had to be delivered onto a white cloth. This
child had to be nurtured and guarded against
all bad things and sickness since it had an impor-
tant and special destiny.
King Goodwill Zwelithini
Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu was born at 14 July 1948 at Nongo-
ma. When his father, king Cyprian Bhekuzulu kaSolomon, died he be-
came king of the Zulu nation in 1968. After he turned twenty-one
years old and got married, he was installed as the eight Monarch
of the Zulus. It was a traditional ceremony that was held at Nogo-
ma on 3 December 1971. 20,000 people attended this ceremony.

The history of bobotie goes back to the Dutch
settlers in the 17th century. The Dutch East India
Company used the Cape of Good Hope in South
Africa as a rest point for their ships to Java. Ma-
lay Slaves from for example Java or Borneo, had
mixed ingredients together, this resulted in the bo-

I know a place in Africa
Where I can feel the sun on my back
And the sand between my barefoot toes
Where I can hear the gulls on the breeze
And the waves crash on the endless shore
I know a place in Africa
Where the mountains touch the skies of blue
And the valleys shelter vines of green
Where the trees spread out a cloth of mauve
And the bushveld wears a coat of beige
I know a place in Africa
Where I can hear the voice of thunder gods
And watch their lightening spears thrown to
earth
Where I can breathe the scent of rain clouds
And taste the sweet dew of dusty drops
This is the place of wildness
Of evolution and dinosaurs
Where life began and mankind first stood
Of living fossils and elephants
Where lions roar and springbok herds leap
This is the place of struggle
Of desert plains and thorn trees
Where pathways end and hunters track game
Of horizons and frontiers
Where journeys start and sunsets bleed red
This is the place of freedom
Of exploration and pioneers
Where darkness loomed and light saw us
through
Of living legends and miracles
Where daybreak came and hope now shines
bright
My heart is at home in Africa
Where the sound of drums beat in my chest
And the songs of time ring in my ears
Where the rainbow mist glows in my eyes
And the smiles of friends make me welcome
My mind is at ease in Africa
Where the people still live close to the soil
And the seasons mark my changing moods
Where the markets hustle with trading
And Creation keeps its own slow time
My soul is at peace in Africa
For her streams bring lifeblood to my veins
And her winds bring healing to my dreams
For when the tale of this land is told
Her destiny and mine are as one

We dont talk about things like condoms,
sex, or STDs. It is not that kind of relation-
ship (female, aged 17)
[Sex] is a symbol of power in the affair.
Once you have sex with a woman, you
have a strong say in the running of the
relationship (male, aged 26)
These quotes are typical comments of the youth
of South Africa. These quotes are showing the
p(cL|em: cnc ccnficI: in :exuc| (e|cIicn:hip:
and what kind of effect it has on getting infect-
ed with HIV. South Africans high rate of people
infected with HIV/AIDS appears to be the result
of a combination of factors. A lot of South Afri-
cans have sex on an early age, females only
have little power in sexual relationships, the lack
of communication about wearing condoms and
getting infected with HIV, the care-free attitudes,
the sexual violence and the cultural myths, such
as having sex with a virgin in order to cure the
disease.
The South African post-apartheid press still strug-
gles with the history of South Africa. The black
press was seeking for justice for their victims at all
costs, while the white press was seeking for for-
giveness. Both of them were not objective about
what was really going on in South Africa. Most of
the white reporters were afraid to be critical of
their government, because they might be seen
as a racist. This disease is a very serious problem,
but it was not treated like a serious problem.
Some journalist covered the real issues up and
wrote sensational stories that would sell
newspapers. The government generally
denied the disease and a lot of people
who talked about AIDS were accused of
racism or conspiracy against Africans.
The media did not tell the truth about the
real situation of the pandemic in South
Africa. There was a gap between what
the reporters wrote and what the media
consumers wanted to know. The public
was, and in some cases still is, uninformed
about the basic facts of HIV/AIDS. Some
people even started to question the exist-
ence of HIV because of the contradicts of
the media. Recently it has been publicized
that the President was called a denialist
of the HIV/AIDS crisis by a lot of people.
Furthermore, the health minister of South

talk about. We cannot talk about the pandemic without disa-
greement or provoking issues. By discussing this disease, a lot
of other problems about class, gender and race are brought
up. HIV/AIDS is a real problem for South Africa, which is only
getting worse because more citizens are getting infected by
this virus. The youth is suffering of the way the government
and the press is dealing with this pandemic.

Africa has suggested that traditional medicines
and vitamins might be an alternative treatment
for HIV/AIDS, without evidence of their effec-
tiveness. A lot people, especially black people,
were outraged because of what she said.
There are two reasons why the South African
Government covers up the real issues about HIV/
/lDS. Ihe f(:I (ec:cn i: Leccu:e cf Ihe eccncm-
ics. They are afraid to loose some of their tour-
ism when the pandemic would be prominently
on the agenda. When the government does not
speak about the issue, the less attention it may
receive from the media. Secondly, President
Thabo Mbeki is ignoring the AIDS pandemic,
because he is questioning the disease. He has
claimed that HIV may not cause AIDS at all and
that it is only a western pharmaceutical conspir-
acy. In fact, he claimed that poverty, not AIDS,
is the worlds largest killer. His point of view has
been called irresponsible and dangerous by
a lot of black Africans and they were so mad
about it that they wanted an investigation to
prove that the president is a corrupt Politician.
In conclusion, the South African youth, press
and government are facing real cultural and
economic challenges to reduce the rate of in-
fected Africans with HIV/AIDS. The actions of
these three groups will determine much of the fu-
ture of South Africa. How South Africa deals with its
health problems will affect the future of the coun-
trys well
being.
