Ramaphosa to Launch “Game-Changer” HIV Injection

President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to launch the rollout of the lifesaving HIV prevention injectable medicine, Lenacapavir, later this week.

Lenacapavir is administered via injection twice a year, offering people six months of continuous protection per dose and providing welcome relief from daily pills or bi-monthly injections.

"This groundbreaking initiative marks a significant milestone in South Africa's ongoing efforts to fight against HIV/AIDS and aims to enhance prevention of new HIV infections," the Presidency said in a statement.

"Lenacapavir is a twice-yearly long-acting injectable option for HIV prevention, and the rollout highlights the collaboration between the government, civil society, the private sector, and development partners amongst the stakeholders committed to ending HIV as a public health threat in South Africa."

Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, Mpumalanga Premier Mandla Ndlovu, provincial Health MECs, leaders of SANAC civil society, development partners, and donors including the Global Fund are expected to attend the launch.

The launch will be held at the Lilian Ngoyi Stadium in Secunda, Mpumalanga, on Friday.

IT’S NOT XENOPHOBIA, IT’S NO LEADERSHIP — A MOZAMBICAN PERSPECTIVE

_By Solomon Mondlane

Swati Newsweek 08 May, 2026

I am writing as a Mozambican who has lived, studied, and worked in three countries: Mozambique, Swaziland, and South Africa. I did both my primary and secondary education in Swaziland as a foreigner from Mozambique. Because of that lived experience, I reject the easy label that South Africans are xenophobic.

_When leadership is absent, people step in — and it turns chaotic_
What we see in South Africa today is not xenophobia. It is what happens in any country when there is a vacuum of leadership. When the state fails to secure borders, regulate immigration, police crime, and communicate clearly, ordinary citizens step in to “solve” the problem themselves. The result is almost always disorder, violence, and scapegoating. That is failed governance, not national hatred.

_If South Africa is xenophobic, then the whole of Africa is_
I know this because I lived it in Swaziland as a young Mozambican. We were subjected to ugly name-calling. Once every month, law enforcement targeted undocumented Mozambicans for harassment. People were forcefully removed from their rented apartments, loaded into police trucks like firewood, and deported. Some Mozambicans were recruited to work in sugarcane fields by citizens. At the end of the month, those same employers would call law enforcement. The workers were arrested and deported without their salaries.

Refugee camps were created for both South Africans and Mozambicans, but in separate communities. The state decided who belonged where.

But because Swazis were doing it, nobody called it xenophobia. There were no global headlines about “Swazi xenophobia.” It was treated as immigration enforcement.

_Mozambique is doing the same_
In Mozambique, foreigners coming to visit are subjected to roadblocks — or what President Venâncio Mondlane once described as “slavery toll gates.” Law enforcement demands bribes everywhere a foreigner goes within the country. By the time they arrive at their destination, they are left with nothing.

Those who settle in Mozambique face another trap. They are invited into business partnerships, and when they have invested, they are insulted, falsely accused — mainly as terrorists — by citizens, and then deported. What do you call that? Just because it is done by Mozambicans, is it not xenophobia?

_The double standard_
The difference is not the behavior. The difference is South Africa’s size, media visibility, and economic pull. Millions migrate to South Africa because it works better than home. When tensions flare there, cameras are present. When the same, or worse, happens in smaller states, the world stays silent.

_South Africa needs leadership, not labels_
South Africans need to be engaged by their government. That means the government should start leading from outside the walls of Parliament. Secure the borders. Deal with illegal immigration like other African countries are doing. It is their sovereign right.

In reality, South Africa has been the most lenient country on the continent. It has absorbed millions. What we are witnessing now is not hatred of foreigners. It is the outcome of years without clear policy, without enforcement, and without honest conversations with citizens.

Call it what it is: a lack of leadership. When the state abandons its job, the street takes over. And the street has no training, no law, and no accountability.

If we are honest, the same behavior we condemn in South Africa exists across Africa. The cure is not shaming South Africans. The cure is leadership — in Pretoria, in Maputo, in Mbabane, and across the AU.

In Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, Captain Ibrahim Traoré has just abolished colonial prisons and replaced them with farms, skills, and freedom! Which other African president can do this?

While the world builds bigger prisons, Captain Ibrahim Traoré is tearing down the colonial justice system brick by brick and replacing it with something Africa has never seen before!

Under Traoré's bold prison reform, inmates who work on state farms can reduce their sentences by 3 months for every month of labour completed.

No more rotting behind bars doing nothing. No more colonial-style punishment with zero rehabilitation.

Agricultural fields are now open-air classrooms where prisoners learn vital farming techniques, contribute directly to the national economy, and cultivate a sense of purpose.

Traoré has already approved sentence reductions for 963 prisoners, including the full release of 372 detainees with at least one life sentence commuted.

The prisons are clean. The prisoners are working and learning trades. When they leave, they leave with skills to build a life!

This is not the system the colonisers left behind. This is Africa thinking for itself!

Many years ago, worked at that restaurant with the yellow M. The amount of “food” we used to throw out when we closed was insane. One day I asked my shift manager uba kanti why don’t we just take this food home with us coz many here are going home to hungry parents and siblings. Alternatively let’s give it to the homeless people outside or the ladies of the night…..

The answer I got was “if we allow that you guys will make extra food ngabom so we can waste and you take it home…”

Fundamentally the reason - according to me - is that capitalism requires exploitable labour to function hence it keeps a certain level of poor hungry people. If eve try body had at least their food sorted, the motivation to go work would be less and they would be less exploitable in the minds of the capitalist…
