Lottery Commits R124-Million to Fight HIV and TB
The National Lotteries Commission has committed R124-million to organisations combating HIV and TB, to help fill the gap left by the withdrawal of funding by the United States.
The withdrawal of funding by the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in South Africa could lead to hundreds of thousands of additional HIV-related deaths and new infections in the next decade.
The decision to make Lottery funding available was revealed by Commissioner Jodi Scholtz when the NLC presented its 2024/2025 annual report to Parliament’s Trade, Industry and Competition portfolio committee.
The funding is intended to help fill the gap left by the withdrawal of US funds in the fight against HIV and TB.
