You wouldn’t believe it but I have wasted all day digging for some content articles about this. You’re a lifesaver, it was a great study and has helped me out to no end. Cheers,

Interesting article – the graphs are very telling.

One can only hope that we start to see some Ugandan/Botswanan shape on our SA graph soon.

I was going to raise the same point about Zuma’s “shower incident”. However, I think the likes of us on the internet/twitter/facebook etc remember those remarks a lot more than the people who lack the education to understand the issue and who actually would belive his words.

I doubt very much the adult population will change their behaviour too much. This sort of issue needs to be dealt with via the education of the next generation of adult South Africans. If the government take a stand and really push the point then there will be change, but I believe the change will not be seen under the present governments term of office.

The question is, has the government got the integrity to make changes that will be shown to be effective long after they have gone?

I hope so.

I would hope that Jacob Zuma has learnt from that episode and that he listens to some of the health activists. And I think we, all South Africans, should also allow him some space to show the change. Even Zapiro has done that.

Good article Tony.
It is indeed doubtful that the Zuma administration is going to change a lot. After all it only takes ‘a shower’, doesn’t it?
