The question of child prostitution and how to deal with sex tourists who visit South Africa looking for children for sex were among those raised at the Sex Tourism conference held recently in Cape Town. The conference was convened as a result of the growing number of South African children who are being dragged into prostitution here at home, while others are being trafficked out of the country. This audio report is in Sesotho.

The media in South Africa tend to be irresponsible, ignorant and inaccurate when reporting about HIV/AIDS. That's the analysis of the President of the Medical Research Council, Professor Malekgapuru Makgoba. Zackie Achmat of the Treatment Action Campaign agrees. He cites a lack of informed stories in the South African media on issues such as good nutrition, health economics and the economic impact the disease has on the country.

The National Children's Forum on HIV/AIDS helped break the silence among children regarding their experiences of HIV/AIDS. The forum encouraged children to speak freely and gave them the chance to speak to government representatives about their problems in the hope of getting assistance. In this Sesotho audio package the children talk about some of the hardships they endure.
