The Protea Glen Community Gym in Extension 11 commemorated World Aids Day yesterday.
It was a fun filled day where they had aerobics, marathon and had a candle light prayer for the community.
The gym was inspired to celebrate World Aids Day through exercise because they believe that even if they are not infected, they are also affected by the virus and that being healthy and taking care of yourself is the key to tackle the virus.
Thulani Nsuntsha, one of the people who organised the event said that even though he is not infected, he is still affected that is why he will never discriminate against those living with HIV.
“If I discriminate against those with HIV, I will be discriminating my community that is why I choose to help fight against it and help those who are infected because as long as they live a healthy lifestyle, then they are good,” said Nsuntsha.
