South Africa To Hold AIDS Awareness Concert

REUTERS reports: Former South African President Nelson Mandela announced on Monday a group of local and international musicians would perform at a concert in Johannesburg to raise money for his 46664 AIDS charity. Profits for the event will help fund HIV/AIDS awareness and outreach programmes throughout southern Africa, the epicentre of the worldwide AIDS epidemic. About 1,000 South Africans die each day from AIDS and another 1,500 contract the virus. An estimated 12 percent of South Africa’s 47 million people are infected. Link
