Default Agreed

As I said, in this ost I only concentrate on the drugs issue, but there are many more issues. On education - this is the one area where the SA government is actually doing beter on. Their education progarms are very good, and it reaches a lot of people, but not all (due to infrastructure in the rural areas).

There are manyissue that need adressing, like culture, and also religion. It is sometimes an uphill battle with the church still saying condoms are wrong.
