GTZ, DED, InWEnt and KfW jointly celebrated the World AIDS Day in South Africa.

“HIV&AIDS is no longer a death sentence and people with HIV still have dreams and aspirations. Through your support and encouragement, those dreams can be achieved”. Mandy Mthethwa, the Community Development Programme manager from the Mpumalanga local government, has been living with the disease for more than five years. She addressed the participants at an event jointly organised by the South African offices of GTZ, DED, InWEnt and KfW to celebrate World AIDS Day; the event took place at Springbok Park in Pretoria. GTZ, DED and InWEnt had signed an HIV/AIDS workplace policy agreement during last year’s celebrations; this year KfW joined the three organisations in addressing HIV/AIDS in the work environment.
