WINDHOEK, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- A report launched in Windhoek Monday on HIV by the UNAIDS shows that more than 149,000 people in Namibia are on antiretroviral therapy, while more than 210,000 are living with the virus.
The report titled Get on the Fast-Track: the Life-cycle Approach to HIV also revealed that 18 million people are on antiretroviral therapy worldwide.
Fast-track is the method where countries strive to get people infected with the HIV on retroviral treatment.
Speaking at the launch of the report, Namibian President Hage Geingob said more people are accessing antiretroviral treatment.
He also said what is left for Namibia is to ensure that the country stayed on the fast-track to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
"Just two years ago," Geingob said, "15 million people were accessing antiretroviral treatment; today more than 18 million are on treatment and new HIV infections among children continue to fall."
The reports says girls' transition to womanhood is a very dangerous time, especially in sub-Sharan Africa.
CAPE TOWN Cheap Air Max Mens , July 7 (Xinhua) -- MPs of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) will not vote with the opposition to remove South African President Jacob Zuma from office whether such a motion is voted upon through an open or secret ballot, the Office of the ANC Chief Whip said on Friday.
The ANC and its Parliamentary Caucus has been on record that its stance on the upcoming motion of no confidence in Zuma is that "we will not vote with the opposition in favor of such a motion," spokesperson Nonceba Mhlauli said.
This came after ANC MP Makhosi Khoza has gone on a publicity spree in the past week stating that she will not toe the party line when voting in the anti-Zuma motion of no confidence, scheduled for August 8.
The ANC has warned that ANC members who support a motion of no confidence in Zuma risk being disciplined by the party.
Khoza reportedly said she doubts that ANC MPs have the necessary morality to make their own decisions.
"We take serious exception to such utterances as they seek to question the calibre of our MPs Cheap Air Max Online ," Mhlauli said. "ANC Members of Parliament are tried and tested cadres of the movement who have in their own name and right contributed immensely to the attainment and advancement of our democracy."
Furthermore, the ANC Caucus has on numerous occasions said that it is not averse to a secret ballot and would positively engage in parliamentary processes on the question of the secret ballot, said Mhlauli.
Mhlauli also refuted Khoza's allegation that she was not allowed to raise her views in ANC Caucus meetings.
"This is absolutely not true. Comrade Khoza like any other member of the ANC Caucus has never been barred from raising their views in caucus meetings," Mhlauli said.
Referring to claims by Khoza that she received death threats on a daily basis Cheap Air Max Free Shipping , Mhlauli said nobody in the ANC or in the country has the right to vilify or threaten her and her family.
"We again, as we have done before, call upon the organization and the police authorities to act with the necessary speed to ensure that the safety of comrade Khoza and that of her family is guaranteed. The ANC and the police authorities must also act against those who have threatened and intimidated her and her family," said the spokesperson.
Opposition parties have pressed for a vote of no confidence in Zuma through secret ballot in the hope that ANC MPs would be encouraged to support the motion.
The Constitutional Court ruled on June 22 that Parliament Speaker Baleka Mbete is empowered to decide whether a vote of no confidence in Zuma should be conducted by secret ballot.
Mbete has set July 14 as the deadline for political parties to submit their views regarding their preferred means of voting on this particular motion Cheap Air Max Outlet , that is, whether by a secret or open ballot.
Seven votes of no confidence against Zuma have failed in Parliament dominated by ANC MPs.
Opposition parties fielded another vote of no confidence against Zuma in April after Zuma reshuffled the cabinet, sacking Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and other ministers.
