Quote of the week
A few months ago, author William Gumede described Zuma as someone with a narcissistic personality disorder — a set of traits defined by Austrian psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut as “including an exaggerated sense of superiority, a lack of self-awareness about the impact of their behaviour and having a disdain for others, who they devalue to validate their own grandiosity”. These people lack empathy, have a distorted sense of reality and are incapable of seeing anything from anyone else’s perspective. Narcissists like Zuma, Gumede argues, can’t accept responsibility and don’t care if they take down entire countries with them. The events at Nkandla, sadly for Zuma, only reinforced that perspective.

MSF Soccer game for HIV awareness

Why HalfTime?
Think of the battle against HIV/AIDS as a deciding football match played between people living with HIV and the HIV virus itself… The scores are tied in a draw at 1 all. HIV can still win the match if the funding for life saving ARV’s, which will help people to stay well enough to play the second half of the game of life, is stopped. |

| MSF provides antiretroviral treatment to over 140,000 people in 30 countries around the world and in the last 18 months we have observed international donors after years of commitment now capping, reducing or withdrawing their funding for antiretroviral drugs (ARVs). Our programmes are having to cut back on the number of people they put on ARV’s . This may mean that millions of people are at risk of dying unnecessarily.
Visit our new blog Extra-Time which presents an alternative view on World Cup from the perspective of HIV/Aids people and MSF field workers. The MSF coach is working on the match tactics, so remember to keep an eye out for the next email on 29 June which will reveal the strategy for this deciding game! Best regards, |
