S Africa rolls out Aids programme

The South African Cabinet has approved a plan to distribute free Aids drugs to more than five million sufferers.

But the health minister warned there was "still a long way to go" in the fight against Aids.

"I don't want to raise false hopes, but a decision has been made. There is hope," Manto Tshabalala-Msimang said.

The country has been accused of not doing enough to fight the disease, despite having the largest number of HIV/Aids cases in the world.
