One condom, one round: Ramaphosa
Deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa is urging young people to practice safe sex in order to curb new HIV infections.
"One condom, one round," says Ramaphosa.
He delivered the keynote address at the World AIDS Day commemoration in Daveyton, and says the rate of new infections remains high, with 2000 girls and young women being infected each week.
"Young people must have the confidence to insist that they must use condoms", says Ramaphosa.
The Deputy President says those who fought to destigmatise the disease should be honoured.
"Let us also honour and respect those who stood firm and fought hard when many of us lived oblivious to the ravages of HIV and AIDS," says Ramaphosa.
