The Roman Catholic Church has come under criticism for its view that condoms should not be seen as a means to fight the spread of Aids. Little credit is given though to the work the Church does to help those infected and affected by Aids, as well as its prevention education methods. In Tzaneen in the Northern Province, the Catholic Church has put together a programme called Education for Life, through which it teaches people about the dangers of AIDS and how to deal with the challenges put forward by the epidemic. And crucial to this programme is the need to address people's daily needs, like providing them with food. 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.
