ACDP calls on government to redirect hi-jacked KZN HIV/ Aids funds

Cheryllyn Dudley MP – ACDP

Thursday, 15 August 2002

Cheryllyn Dudley MP for the African Christian Democratic Party gave the following Notice of Motion in Parliament yesterday:


I shall move on behalf of the ACDP that the house:

Is appalled at the way government has connived to take control of United Nations potential funding of R700 million for the fight against HIV/Aids in KZN;
Commends KwaZulu Natal on their practical proposal which includes funding for anti-retrovirals to TB patients, pregnant women and health care workers, shelters for orphans, training for healthcare workers to provide triple therapy and expanding HIV counselling and testing services;
Notes that the National Department of Heath’s proposal provides primarily for more funding for Aids education programmes, including the immoral Lovelife campaign, with little practical assistance for those who are so desperately in need;
Further notes that Lovelife, an off-shoot of the most profitable of “non-profit” organisations, Planned Parenthood, which is responsible for the stupendous growth of the profitable condom and abortion industries around the world, especially in impoverished areas, already receives millions of Rands from government, is responsible for the Government HIV/Aids budget of R157 million, and receives millions more from Global Foundations and PPASA who themselves receive millions of Rands of public funds to teach children and teens to masturbate, have oral sex, use condoms, access abortions and experiment with homosexual lifestyles;
Calls on government to abandon their inadequate proposal and direct the hi-jacked global funding where it is so desperately needed and provide practical treatment and care along with sound pro-family HIV/Aids education that teaches the truth about life love and sex.
