Two quick news articles from KZN, both not so good.

NADECO, the IFP slinter offshoot party, seems to be pulling a PAC as it spirals down in flames. When NADECO started there was quite a bit of coverage in the media about how much damage they would do to the already wounded IFP. Well I guess the IFP can sleep a bit easier tonight what with various NADECO leaders calling each other a “bunch of clowns”.

In somewhat more distressing news new research seems to indicate that the level of HIV infection in KZN is “unbelievable”.

Professor Gita Ramjee, of the Medical Research Council in Durban, said that in one area of the South Coast the HIV prevalence level in women was as high at 70 percent, while in the Embo area near Botha’s Hill researchers found a prevalence level of more than 66 percent.

Well so much for garlic, lemons and beetroot.

Got to do something while I wait for my code to compile on the ancient machine I have at work.

As a news junkie myself, I just want to say how much I appreciate your blog. How you manage to dig up all that stuff is quite beyond me.
