Officials including Pastor Khathi and the local councilor observing a moment of silent during the event
NGWENYENI- Sindisa Home Based Care in collaboration with Thembalethu Home Based Care had an AIDS awareness function which was aimed at teaching people about the scourge of the epidemic HIV and AIDS. Approximately 900 community members turned up for the gathering on Saturday at Ngwenyeni community hall. The village’s headman, Gagabukane Khoza, and the ward councilor, Jackie Macie, graced the occasion. During the event 91 people got tested and due to time constraints some did not get tested despite their willingness to take the dreaded test. The event organizer, Bafana Makukule, was very impressed by the turn-out of the residents. He expressed hope that the disease will be under control. Children were advised to abstain from sexual engagements while adults were told to use condoms during sex. The Salvation Army Brass Band entertained the crowd with spiritual hymns.
