The theme for 2023, “Let Communities Lead,” continued throughout Mahlangu’s words, emphasising the critical role of traditional authority in tackling HIV/AIDS.
“We stand united in our determination to comfort this global health crisis and work towards a future free of the burden of HIV/AIDS,” Mahlangu said.
