- Date
- 1999
- Description
- This Special Congress of COSATU notes the relentless advance of HIV and AIDS since the 1997 Congress. 3,5 million people in South are infected with the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV). Life expectant South Africa will reduce to 40-45 over the next ten years and health care costs will be beyond the cape of survivors to pay for. It is now clear that publicity and condom distribution, though important, are enough. This requires a new approach and strategy, based on a partnership between government and society in which the organised working class should play a leading role.
