Message on World Aids Day 2022
"Equalise and Integrate to End AIDS,"
On the occasion of the World Aids Day 2022, the Free State Legislature recommit itself towards the National Development Plan. In terms of the NDP, South Africa has committed itself towards eliminating poverty and reducing inequality by 2030.
It is based on this background that we are a view that unless all social partners come together to take advantage of our country’s rich endowments, it will not possible to tackle complex challenges of Unemployment, Inequality and HIV/AIDS.
Today, in commemoration of the World Aids Day, we remember all our people who’ve lost a fight against the pandemic, those who placed their lives on the line to defeat it and those volunteers who became ambassadors of the campaign. We recommit that for as long the scourge persists to exist, we will continue the course for awareness.
With positive mentality within our society, proper nutrition to repair damaged cells and the economy that works for everyone, we can win the fight against HIV/AIDS within the set target. In this way, we can indeed “equalize.”
