South African National Aids Council promotes healthy lifestyles at Telkom Knockout final 16 December 2015

The South African National Aids Council (SANAC) scored big at the Telkom Knockout final between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns in Durban on Day of Reconciliation, December 16, 2015.

SANAC distributed half a million condoms to the approximately 56 000 football supporters at the Moses Mabhida Stadium as part of its ongoing campaign to promote healthy lifestyles and urge South Africans to abstain, be faithful, condomise and circumcise in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Deputy President and SANAC Chairperson Mr Cyril Ramaphosa commended the match organisers, sponsors, fans and the 25 volunteers who distributed the condoms for making the HIV awareness activation a success.

Deputy President Ramaphosa wished all South Africans a safe and enjoyable festive break and called on citizens and all sectors of society to make the achievement of an HIV-free South Africa a priority.
