Patent wars on pharmaceuticals are an ongoing battle, one that affects the lives of a myriad of people around the world yet sorely lacking the awareness and recognition it merits. HIV/AIDS is an issue that this team is passionate about, and ‘Patent Wars’ provides a new angle from which the pandemic must be tackled.

Africa has been haunted by the AIDS epidemic. It has taken countless lives and the death toll is continuously growing. Twenty-eight million people live with AIDS in Sub Sahara Africa. AIDS claimed 900,000 lives in South Africa during 2001. Three million children today are left with one parent or none. Six hundred thousand people die of AIDS related illnesses everyday in Sub-Saharan Africa. These are just a few of the facts of the AIDS crisis. However, people in Africa are still living with a positive spirit, and have hopes and courage even though death is just around the corner. The industries, economy, and education are being affected as the result of AIDS. Africa is in need of attention and awareness.

This project attempts to contribute to the healing of South Africa by exploring two key issues. The first issue is that of the political violence of the apartheid era. The second is the current HIV/AIDS crisis.
We have decided to focus our project on a small community, Mpophomeni, which in many ways is typical the situation in South Africa. During the struggle years, it experienced a high level of violence and police brutality. Currently, it has an 80% unemployment rate, and a high HIV infection rate.
What we have attempted to do, is to provide an open-ended resource which the Mpophomeni community (young and old) can use to explore and discuss the past and present problems. We feel this is particularly important in the area of HIV/AIDS, as there is a taboo on this subject area, and yet it is essential that people start to openly share their views. We have also atempted to find out people's views by means of interviews and surveys.
We hope also that this project provides an insight into the real South Africa, rather than the unproblematic, picturesque, post-apartheid miracle which is the view of many. Through our discussion area, we invite people from all over the world to interact with real people and the real issues they face.
