The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that close to 2 million South African adults, who make up 6.5% of the population, have diabetes. More recently, a national survey published in August 2013 (SANHANES-1, 2013) showed that 9.5 % of the study population has diabetes and 18.4% is pre-diabetic. This is a conservative estimate, as 50%-85% of the population, particularly those living in rural areas, has not been tested and could push that statistic much higher.

Did Woolworths ‘Poach’ Poaching Video?
The delicate balancing act between showcasing the horrors of Rhino poaching and the need to 'shock' people into sitting up and take notice of the plight of Rhino's in South Africa often leads people to trample over the rights of others in a misguided attempt to profit off of the situation. Often legitimate owners of copyrighted material are 'coerced' into 'donating' video and images that they do not want to make public owing to the shocking horror of said images or video. Trampling on the … [Read more...] about Did Woolworths ‘Poach’ Poaching Video?
