Description
Summary:With the strongest economy in Africa, a reborn South Africa could act as a financial locomotive for the entire continent. Yet all this is threatened by AIDS, now sweeping through the population apparently unchecked. Treatments are available - but expensive. And western drug companies see scant incentive in spending a fortune on a vaccine which relatively few could afford. This programme concentrates on the impact of AIDS on South Africa's economy, asking what can be done to offer hope to the poorest continent on earth.
