South Africa is believed to
have the largest HIV/AIDS
epidemic in the world, with
almost six million people
estimated to be living with the
disease.

President Zuma, in a speech
on December 1, 2009, World
AIDS Day, announced a
nationwide campaign to
encourage all South Africans
to be tested for HIV and
pledged to provide treatment
for all infants under one year
who test positive for HIV by
April 2010.
In 2010, South Africa successfully hosted
the largest event ever held on the African
continent, the FIFA World Cup, an
international football (soccer) competition.
It was attended by over three million people
and drew over 300,000 tourists. South
Africa defied many expectations during the
event—six new stadiums were finished on
time, crime was low. Americans bought
more tickets to the event than any other
nationality. The games were a point of
pride, not only to South Africans, but to
many across Africa.
