ICYMI: Deputy President David Mabuza has cautioned South Africans against irresponsible behaviour during this festive season. ChristmasEve
Mabuza says better health care has increased the life expectancy in the country particularly in relation to HIV/AIDS and TB.
“Our country continues to make the necessary progress as a member of a family of nations. Our life expectancy keeps going up because of better healthcare especially in the fight against HIV and Aids and TB and a social safety net for the most vulnerable amongst ourselves. However, the festive season should not make us complacent about the continued threat of HIV and Aids epidemic. We should take the very necessary precautions to protect ourselves from risky behaviour.
Government, together with stakeholders, earlier this year held the second Presidential Gender-Based Violence and Femicide Summit to continue reflecting on gender-based violence and femicide, what President Cyril Ramaphosa has described as the second pandemic. It was estimated that more than 40 000 people were displaced as a result of the floods. This while deadly road accidents have also claimed the lives of some and for their loved ones, Mabuza says it is a sombre period.
