...estimated 330,000 people died as a result of the South African government’s lack of implementation of a “timely and feasible” antiretroviral treatment program between 2000 and 2005, according to a study by Harvard researchers published yesterday in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes. The study, conducted by Pride Chigwedere, a graduate of the Harvard School of Public Health, and four other researchers from the school, also found that the infection of 35,000 newborns with HIV could have been prevented with widespread use of ARV drugs.

Regarding the "poisoning the trout in its lakes and rivers" statement, it is true that the government has introduced the nem:ba Act, in which the Federation of Southern African Flyfishers has been involved on a consultative basis. A pilot scheme has been put in place on an 18-km stretch of a trout stream in the Western Cape in this regard. The idea of "lakes, dams and rivers overflowing" with trout (of any species) is in itself ludicrous...
