POTCH BANS ?UNSCIENTIFIC? AIDS SHOW

PIETER-Dirk Uys’s controversial Aids education show has been banned from the campus of Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, reports Beeld newspaper. The show is, according to Professor Madoda Zibi, vice-rector of development and chairman of the university’s Aids committee, “unscientific”. Professor Carools Reinecke, the university’s rector, also “rejected” the show. Dr Elmarie Claassens, a clinical psychologist and the organiser of the show, said the ban was ?regrettable? as most students are sexually active anyway.
