International support for HIV/AIDS lobby group

    JOHANNESBURG

    A Netherlands-based HIV/AIDS lobby group has backed South Africa's Treatment Action Campaign's (TAC) march on parliament for a national treatment plan.

    "We join the TAC in urging the South African government to make good on its promises and to act to save the lives of its people," GNP+ said in a statement.

    The TAC drove its point home on Friday with a march to mark the opening of parliament by President Thabo Mbeki.

    "The march on 14 February is a reminder to all governments of their responsibility to fulfil their commitments to their people, and it is an opportunity for the South African government to move forward in the right direction," GNP+ added.
