Motsoaledi to send team to US over plans to cut HIV/Aids treatment funding

JOHANNESBURG – Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi says the government will send a team to the US following an announcement that Washington plans to cut funding for HIV/Aids treatment programmes.

Motsoaledi said that the announcement is not final at this stage. South Africa has the biggest HIV/Aids treatment plan in the world.Motsoaledi said that 80% of the HIV scheme is funded from SA's own fiscal and 20% from development partners, which includes the US's President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief .Motsoaledi added that it’s not only South Africa but for other countries too, including India.

“Anything that a development partner doesn’t fund you, you try to find it internally. So, wholly depends on us as South Africans, whether we believe in order to live Americans must do something. “But if we believe in order to live, we stand on our own, and then it means our own internal sources must do something about it.”

Amazing. We always vote against US at UN.All our friends are either enemies of US or just plain tyrants and terrorists. We just withdrew our Ambassador from Israel,close US ally-but we want their $. What a bunch of nitwits we are.

Theu should have asked Venezuela for assistance while they were over on a fact finding mission.

Why are cANCer so dependent on funding from the evil colonial oppressors in the West? Ask your BRICS buddies!
