iLembe Mayor condemns Mandeni’s HIV infection rate By Xpress Reporter
iLembe District Mayor, Councillor Welcome Mdabe addressed residents at the oThukela Sports Ground in Mandeni on November 16 for a community meeting to discuss the Environmental Impact Assessment of the Macambini Bulk Water Supply Project. Councillor Mdabe, who is also the Chairperson of the iLembe District Aids Council said that in a period of three months this year, an alarming 8 000 new HIV infections were reported across the seven clinics in Mandeni. “5 300 of those new infections are females and 4 000 of those females are between the ages of
15 to 24 years. The most disturbing thing is that it is men my age who are spreading this virus and are running after young girls,” he said. At the meeting, Mayor Mdabe said there is a clear need for a men's forum in the district. He added that no rape will take place in the district and go unnoticed. “We are tired of rape and we say enough is enough. This is more than we can bear. From now on when a rape occurs we will go to the home of the rapist to see for ourselves what kind of person does this. We will then go to the victim's family to show our support like we do when there is a
death in a family. We will go to court and tell the magistrate that we no longer need the rapist in our community. We will tell the magistrate, should this person come back we will deal with them ourselves,” said Mdabe. The District Mayor said this movement will be led by himself, the local mayor, councillors, the Chief and Indunas. Ending his talk, the mayor pleaded with the residents to have HIV tests done. “There is medication available. Being infected is not something to be ashamed of and it certainly does not mean a death sentence. What's important is taking care of yourself,” he said.
