Know your status and live positively

EVATON - Last week Thursday marked what is known as World Aids Day. Mpumelelo Clinic in Evaton North held a candle light prayer and awareness campaign. In attendance were members of Emthonjeni Centre, Reach-out Community Project and a few crowds which consisted of grannies.

Sister Aletta Legoale expressed her disappointment at the lack of attendance by the patients “I believe we have difficulty in accepting this illness and it’s a pity because it does not discriminate. Treatment is vital and should be followed in order to curb the resistance of the virus. I urge churches to tag along and preach the importance of safe sex.”

Messages of hope for an environment that is sick-free and prayer for those left destitute were uttered, with significance that HIV pandemic is not a result of witchcraft but a reality that is living among people.
“Gone are the days where we as men would use our partners to gauge our status by impregnating them, we should face this pandemic head-on as there is no sickness that is above God” said Cllr. Moshoadiba.
