SA Aids council to be restructured

South African Press Association - October 31, 2006


The South African National Aids Council is to be restructured to give it more decision-making powers, it said in a statement on Tuesday.

The council, chaired by Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, met in Midrand to look at ways to restructure itself.

It was agreed that governmental and non-governmental organisations would in future send their heads to meetings, instead of just sending representatives.

The council will meet twice a year.

The hope was expressed that the council would become the highest decision-making body on HIV and Aids in South Africa.
