The Centres for Disease Control (CDC)) reported the first five known cases of HIV in Los Angeles, in June 1981. An estimated 49,273 Americans were newly diagnosed with HIV. 71% of HIV related deaths were people living in Africa. South Africa is one the countries that have a high rate of HIV infections. Most people who rape or sexually abuse children and women are HIV positive. Millions of children are either infected or affected by HIV. Some of them become orphans at a young age and have to take care of their younger siblings; this leads to what we call child-headed families. The country still faces the challenge of young girls who are raped by men who believe that they can be healed from HIV by having sex with a virgin (someone who has never had sex). The government offers counselling, medication, food parcels and shelter to the needy ones. There are also social workers and care- givers who visit their homes and support them. 5.1 What is the 1st December marked for? (1) 5.2 Give an example of how this day is observed in your community or school. (2) 5.3 Quote a sentence which suggests that Americans also get infected by HIV. (2) 5.4 Why are raped or sexually abused women and children at a risk of contracting HIV? (2) 5.5 Explain the difference between being infected and affected. (2) 5.6 What do you understand by a child-headed family? (2) 5.7 Explain what discrimination is and give an example of how it happens to HIV-positive people.

SOUTH AFRICA UNITED AGAINST DISCRIMINATION, RACISM AND XENOPHOBIA Xenophobia is described as extreme fear or hatred for foreigners (people from other countries). Some of the people are refugees – people who run away from their country because they are threatened or persecuted there, on the basis of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion or because they belong to a particular group of people. Refugees seek asylum in South Africa from protection against persecution, in the same way that South Africans sought refuge in their countries, during apartheid. Immigrants come to South Africa to seek a better life, by looking for better opportunities. Xenophobia is rife in South Africa. It has claimed many lives and left others homeless. There are many reasons stated by the people who are committing the xenophobic attacks. Write a short essay, only three paragraphs and discuss xenophobia under the following points:  What xenophobia is, why do South Africans start xenophobic violence or attacks, what do they say the reasons are. Give at least ONE example.  How does xenophobic violence affect people (the victims, community members and other South Africans)? How does it affect the country’s economy?  Discuss how xenophobia be prevented or addressed by referring to the South Africa Constitution on human rights.
