THE Canadian government will donate more than R200 million to Africa over the next five years to fight the spread of Aids on the continent, the Canadian High Commission in Pretoria said on Thursday. the money will be given to existing anti-Aids projects that are successfully fighting the spread of the disease in Africa — home to most of the world’s HIV/Aids sufferers — the high commission said in a statement. The countries which stand to benefit from the donation include Angola, Botswana, Swaziland, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Education programmes in Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Niger and Senegal will also receive funding, the high commission said. An estimated 22.5 million Africans carry HIV — out of 33 million people infected worldwide.
