For the benefit of our international readers, South Africa is blessed with a colourful and very entertaining health minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang. She has been commissioned with the arduous task of tackling AIDS in this country, and up until now she has been doing a pretty bang-up job. After much research on the AIDS topic, Manto discovered that the best way of defeating AIDS was not through conventional methods, but by ‘traditional’ methods, such as garlic, potato and carrots.

Thanks again to Justin from FoxP2, and thanks to Anton and the Sack Manto site for the Zapiro cartoon.
