...doing enough to fight the pandemic. At issue is the supply of antiretroviral drugs that can reduce the chances of children being born with HIV. Under its national program for the treatment of AIDS, the South African government limits the supply of antiretrovirals to only 18 pilot projects around the country. The drugs are also not readily available to high-risk individuals, not even victims of rape.

We sail over Cessnock, an old mining town laid out like a chessboard, as a 75-carriage coal train snakes through the countryside. Another blast and we lift to 300 m. From that height we can see a 40-km stretch of the valley?a lush strip running east to west.
