UN envoy slams Zuma apology
A top United Nations official has slammed former deputy president Jacob Zuma's apology for having unprotected sex. UN special envoy for Aids in Africa Stephen Lewis, says that Zuma’s apology will not make up for the harm done to efforts to fight Aids. Lewis says he does not think anything can compensate for the damage Zuma has done. The former deputy president was acquitted on Monday on a charge of raping an HIV-positive family friend. During the trial he said he took a shower after sex to minimise the risk of contracting HIV.
