To south Africans, theres nothing shocking about having Hiv, and really, there isnt, you can still leave a normal life, early detection is key. So Mr or Mrs africana, go do a test.

The over 6.1 million people accounts for over 10 percent of the porpulation and an adult prevalence rate of 17.8 percent (15-49years). this value varies markedly between regions. For example, HIV prevalence is almost 40 percent Kwazulu Natal compared with 18 percent in Northern Cape and Western Cape

[b]Here’s a picture of the African soil you have conditioned your mind to believe, you have probably not been taking notice of your surroundings.

African soil is not entirely bad, but it largely unsuitable for agriculture


Here’s the other picture you’ve probably not seen.

The unsuitability of African soil agriculture, is largely due to her extremely wide range of soils and climatic conditions.

The soils range from stony shallow ones with meagre life-sustaining capabilities to deeply weathered profiles which recycle and support a large biomass.

Inappropriate land use, poor management and lack of inputs have also contributed to the woes of the African soil, as there has been a continuous decline in its productivity. Read more about African soil here
