Khayelitsha, South Africa - October 2003. Xapai Thobani, 27 years old and HIV positive, is originally from the Transkei. He transferred to Khayelitsha because he learned about the MSF clinic in this Cape Town slum. Xapai is one of the first South Africans to be treated with ART drugs in 2000. HIV and Aids is responsible for more than 600 deaths every day in South Africa.
The South African government announced a plan to distribute free antiretroviral medication to millions of citizens infected with HIV. Francesco Zizola has documented the Aids work of Médecins Sans Frontiere (MSF) with special focus on the new program set up in Nelson Mandela's birthplace, Lusikisiki, a rural area in the former Transkei, in cooperation with the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Lusikisiki is one of the poorest and most destitute regions in the country and one of the most remote areas of South Africa. It is also one of the worst hit with the Aids pandemic. Established in 2000, the MSF program in Khayelitsha is the first in the country to provide antiretroviral therapy (ART) in public primary health care services. It is a model which is saving lives and giving South Africans a chance of hope.
