Mbeki Blamed for AIDS Deaths

Health Minister, Aaron Motsoaledi has unveiled shocking figures showing a huge AIDS-related leap in South Africa's death rate.

Motsoaledi points out that, "In 11 years [from 1997 to 2008], the rate of death has doubled in South Africa. That is obviously something that cannot but worry a person."

Motsoaledi pins the blame for the current scale of the pandemic squarely on what he called the ‘denialist health policies’ pursued by former president Thabo Mbeki's government.
