And if South Africa becomes the template to what AIDS is in the sub-Saharan continent, then all the other countries are going to follow suit.

I've been coming to America since 1970, and it's like my second home, but I've never felt such a divided country, ever. I didn't think it would get to this point, and it breaks my heart.
