Official Opening of the South African Exhibition Stand at the 22nd International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam, Netherlands held under the theme “Breaking Barriers Building Bridges”.
The Exhibition Stand brings to life a South African street where barriers were broken and bridges were built, in the heart of the Exhibition Hall. As South Africa and the world mark the centenary of Albertina Sisulu and Nelson Mandela this year, South Africa’s exhibition stand reflects and honours their significant contributions to the HIV and TB response.
The stand has been dubbed “Vilakazi Street”, the Soweto street where the homes of two Nobel Peace Prize laureates – South Africa’s first democratically elected president, the late Nelson Mandela, and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu – are found. 24 July 2018
