That constant buzzing, the wasted plastic, and the possible transmission of germ-laden saliva. Ew. Then last Friday, we showed you a video about how the vuvuzela controversy is dividing the staff of ESPN The Magazine. Now, a woman in Cape Town has actually ruptured her throat by blowing on the plastic horn too hard. Don’t worry, it’s only a small tear, but still – this whole mess is really getting out of control. And does anyone actually like the vuvuzelas besides the people tooting them? Okay, we admit it. We like saying vuvuzela. via Los Angeles Times Blog Post from: BlissTree World Cup Vuvuzelas: Annoying, Wasteful, and – Dangerous? (Source: Br...

Madzinga cares for her five grandchildren, including four who were orphaned when Madzinga’s own daughter died from AIDS in 2002. Some 5.5 million people live with HIV/AIDS in South Africa – more than in any other country – placing a heavy burden on a society still struggling with the legacy of Apartheid. Khayelitsha, a township on the outskirts of Cape Town, is home to half a million people and has one of the highest incidences of HIV/AIDS in the country. Since May 2001, MSF has been running an ART program there in partnership with local health authorities.

Many of those buried in the cemetery died from AIDS or related complications such as tuberculosis (TB). Some 5.5 million people live with HIV/AIDS in South Africa – more per capita than any other country – while 33 million people live with the disease worldwide. Despite having the world’s highest number of people receiving anti-retroviral therapy there are millions more who cannot access the life-saving drugs they need, either because they are too expensive or simply not available.
