TLM Launches Local Aids Council

Thabazimbi/ Regorogile – The Thabazimbi Local Municipality (TLM) officially launched its Local Aids Council on 8 February at the Regorogile multipurpose sports centre.

“HIV/AIDS and TB remain major challenges faced by South Africans,” said councillor Manyama. “In order to combat HIV/AIDS and TB, a collective and multi-prolonged effort is required.”

TLM is committed to achieving an HIV free generation as well as offering quality support to all residents that are affected or infected with HIV/AIDS. The Local Aids Council will conduct campaigns that will educate the community on ways to prevent the spread of HIV and TB. 

The Local Aids Council will assist the TLM to better understand the challenges faced by people that are affected and infected with the virus. 

The council will also be responsible for collecting ward-level data on HIV, that will help inform not only provincial councils, but also the South African National AIDS Council.
