Its duty is to convey the message through the media. Initially, we had Soul City drama on South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) and other adverts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCurrently, we have MTV Shuga which is aired on MTV Base,\u201d explained Nkwali. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She stated that they are not just educating people about HIV\/Aids but about gender-based violence (GBV) as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nkwali said HIV\/Aids and GBV are like a new pandemic facing the country. She urged sexually active people to use condoms all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are encouraging people, especially the youth, to utilise protections all the time to prevent teenage pregnancy. They can also utilise condoms, microbicide gel, PrEP as well,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Western Cape Minister of Health and Wellness Dr Nomafrench Mbombo said it was time for young people to lead the fight against the virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She described young people as the future of the country. \u201cWe used to say let the community lead, but now we say let the young people lead. We don\u2019t want to hear them complaining saying we don\u2019t understand them. We want you (young people) to make us understand,\u201d explained Mbombo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She stated that leadership is about knowing your status. She said that their status is confidential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mbombo told the HIV\/Aids patients that they were not alone and encouraged them to take treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nosipho Ntisa (39), a resident from Greenpoint in Site B, described the event as educational. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She encouraged young people to normalise attending such kinds of events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy younger sister died in 2019 because of Aids. She was hiding her status and we found out very late and there was nothing we could do. When I hear topics related to HIV\/Aids I think about her,\u201d said Ntisa adding that she believed if her sister spoke out about her status would still be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said HIV is like any other chronic disease. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hundreds of people gathered at OR Tambo Hall in Khayelitsha to celebrate World Aids Day on Thursday 30
