Opinions anyone...?

I think it is disgraceful that with all the wealth they possess, ie gold, diamonds, uranium, and what have you.
The SA government resorts to begging the world to give them free condoms....
What happened to the billions in aid received, in the last 12/15 years, to be spent to educate the populations in regard to HIV/AIDS.?
Such a high percentage of sufferers only means that nothing at all has been done to educate the people, but were left to their own devices and totally ignorant of the dangers.

Soon we will have a few thousand footie fans exposed to this nightmare, and some of them through sheer stupidity, will bring it home...
