Amidst much media reports about the fraud case of a South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) official who granted the SABS stamp of approval to condoms that did not conform to SABS standards.

“The good news is that this supplier does not supply condoms to the Western Cape Province and therefore there is no need for people to worry about the quality of ‘Choice’ branded free condoms in Cape Town and its Province,” says the City’s Executive Director for Health, Dr Ivan Toms.

The City health says they distributed almost 56 million condoms in the last financial year; this amounted to 50 condoms per adult male per year.

“Cape Town is proud to be the leading district throughout South Africa to effectively have distributed such a high number of condoms,” says Toms.
