South Africans sued to make ARVs accessible and free
Being called the HIV country shouldn't offend you, we are supplying africa with treatment
If we were not HIV central, they wouldn't be flocking here for health care
For the very HIV
may we all remember that addiction is not a personal or moral failing, and requires more than just shaming people. It's a complex brain disease requiring specialists, so we SHOULD be talking better about it.
In 2010, US officials warned that South Africa’s World Cup would be unsafe because of crime and theft, suggesting tourists would stay away out of fear.
16 years later, the World Cup is in their own backyard and England’s team has been robbed in America before their first game.
Zack is the devil! I worked at @CartrackZA for 8 months & there was 1/2 colleagues that passed away… not even a moment of silence for them. Joshua (CEO) has the nerve to smile & record this marketing stunt so to clear their name?! I need that place to burn down! #boycottcartrack
• Jurgen, what’s your take on that Mexico vs South Africa game where the referee had to hold the players during the cooling break because FOX was still airing commercials?
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Jurgen Klopp: “This is football being held hostage by suits in air-conditioned offices. These so-called ‘cooling breaks’ were sold to us as a shield for player welfare, a noble sword against the heat. But in reality? It’s nothing but a golden cage built for the advertisers.
When I saw players standing around during a cooling break while television schedules dictated the rhythm of the match, I couldn’t help but wonder: who is the World Cup really serving? The fans? The players? Or the advertisers?
A World Cup match should flow like a river. Instead, we’re building dams in the middle of it so commercials can pass through. That’s dangerous for the spirit of the game. Football was once the main event; now it risks becoming the background music to an advertising show.
We’re told these breaks are about player welfare, and of course player health matters. But when the game starts bending its knee to television timing, people are going to ask questions. The ball is supposed to be the star. Not a commercial break.
The World Cup is football’s cathedral. Yet sometimes it feels like we’ve turned it into a shopping mall where the cash register gets more respect than the match itself.
If this is the future, then football isn’t being interrupted by advertisements anymore. Football is becoming the interruption between advertisements.”

extremely interesting coincidence that both SA & Ireland are loudly anti-israeli imperialism and are now getting that reputation besmirched by being rampantly xenophobic/afrophobic. just a coincidence tho nothing deeper at play...
Just found out that the designer and creative director of JMakxParis, Alvin JMak got into a partnership through an organisation that helps victims of the conflict in Congo and those victims helped create the uniforms 🥹
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: During Mexico vs South Africa, the referee had to keep the players waiting during the cooling break because FOX was still on a commercial break.
The match eventually resumed while FOX was still showing advertisements.
These cooling breaks are not related to player health, but are instead used to accommodate commercials.

Cartrack knows it owns the CCMA and Dept of Labour
Their boycott will have to come from the people because the government will take them to thw backroom & accept a fat envelope
BOYCOTT CARTRACK
Mind you this team is made up of the best player in AFRICA! But suddenly today, they're not good enough to play at an equivalent level for their country? Aowa 💁🏾♂️
Broos is a brilliant tactician. I just honestly think he does not have confidence in the current crop of Bafana players. For him, they are not up to standard.
