Aids campaigner dies after unsafe sex

Three months after giving birth Mpho Mayoba, a young anti-Aids campaigner from Welkom, was buried this weekend, after dying from an Aids related illness. Mayoba was part of the Young People Living With Aids project which encouraged safe sex, although she herself failed to practice this advice. Mayoba's death has now sparked concerns and uncertainty over the mission of the project, which was launched by the Youth Commission in partnership with the office of the President in 1999.
