South Africa said Thursday it will now provide free treatment to all people infected with HIV, regardless of the condition of their immune system. The country leads the world in infections.

Before the announcement by the country’s health department, people were eligible for free treatment based on a certain measure of their white blood cells, which fight infection. […]

The change is based on World Health Organization guidelines adopted in late 2015 after it was found that treating those with HIV as early as possible improves their health and prolongs their life. …

How much money has been donated to gospel preaching pastors that preach against sexual sins ?

Or donated to build modern, AC church buildings that would draw people to hear the life changing words that would stop the BEHAVIOR of illicit sexual behavior ?

All the programs, money, legislation in the world will do NOTHING.

Whitey's gonna pay for it too?

Whites are 5% of the population, pay 95% of the taxes. (close to those numbers).

Coming soon to the United States of Brazil.

How much of such money would the communistic ANC see donated to such preachers?

Seems to have been conveniently forgotten by the press that the ANC is dominated (as it always has been) by the South African Communist Party (SACP) and that their manufactured hero Mandela was once a member of its Central Committee.

South Africa? Snort, they don’t care about slowing down or eliminating HIV. Any monies sent will go into someone’s wallet. Total waste of time, energy and $$$$$$.

Actually, it’s probably not free. It’s probably paid for by U.S. Aid to South Africa, or a U.N. grant (in turn, derived from U.S. funding), which ultimately means, you’re spending my money again.....

Free? Why, of course, with good ol’ Uncle Sam’s money.
