UN calls for SA to do more in Aids fight

South Africa must do more to raise awareness of HIV/Aids amid rising child deaths and over one million children orphaned by the disease, the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) said Wednesday. ”Each year, 100 000 children contract Aids in South Africa, and half of them die before the age of two,” Unicef’s representative in the country, Macharia Kamau, said.
