Aids activists on the march in Joburg


 Aids activists will be marching in Johannesburg on Thursday to demand that international donors plug a funding gap for HIV, TB and Malaria programmes.

The march is being coordinated by the international group, Doctors Without Borders, which says there's a R2b treatment funding gap for African countries.

The organisation says the funding shortfall is a result of donors not contributing enough at the Global Fund replenishment conferences.

Spokesperson for Doctors Without Borders, Borrie La Grange, says they will march to the US embassy where a memorandum will be presented to US officials.
