South African Press Association (Johannesburg) - February 13, 2003
In a memorandum handed to an official at Parliament at lunchtime, the group demanded that the government make access to nutrition for poor Aids sufferers one of its fundamental priorities.
Other demands were that the department of health develop a nutritional programme before the end of February and that all poverty alleviation programmes should be consolidated.
Napwa said it would continue with marches, demonstrations and pickets throughout the country until its demands were met.
The group dispersed after handing over the memorandum and there were no incidents.
