Eversince Thabo Mbeki's term as State President of the country, one atrocious reality has existed in that millions of impove4rished South African citizens were denied access to Anti-Retroviral drugs that were intrinsic in combatting the HIV/AIDS epidemic reaging through South Africa.
Jacob Zuma's government is no better, even more hypocritical by comparison, because though it does accept that anti-retrovirals are able to curb the downward spiral of the disease, the government refuses to institute a state sponsored mass roll-out of the drugs to the AIDS-sufferers.
The Zuma government definately has more than enough money to fund this project, because they spend 40 to 60 million Rand a year on luxury vehicles, hotel bills, luxury holiday trips to foreign resorts, Beverly-Hills-type residential estates and the list goes on...
It is an absolute atrocity that even a small peice of this isn't being used to finance the necessary medication for the Millions of impoverished Africans that voted for the ANC in every election since 1994! Why does the Zuma government prefer to let them die? Don't they care that these People are their contituents and that therefore the ANC is responsible for ensuring that they are able to live a full rewarding life!
A number of commentators have even said, "The Mbeki and Zuma regimes will go down in history as the most morally corrupt goverments of the late 20th and 21st centuries, because they will succeed in what the Apartheid government could only dream of achieving (i.e. causing millions of African deaths)!"
That is why Jacob Zuma and his cronies must be ridiculed in the public eye for gross negligence and dereliction of duty to the public trust! We have to speak out against this atrocious behaviour before our whole country is scared for another generation!
