Court rules against SANDF HIV policy

The High Court in Pretoria on Friday ruled in favour of two women army recruits whose contracts were cancelled because they tested HIV-positive, the SABC reported.

The court ordered that the SANDF re-employ the women, according to the report.

It ruled that the army was frivolous and abused court processes.

The two women had undergone two years of training before their contracts were cancelled because of their HIV status.
