Defective Condoms in South Africa

So here is the thing- South Africa has one of the world's highest rate of HIV infection; and this leads to almost 1000 (ONE THOUSAND) aids related deaths every day in South Africa!
The government - has not always been kind to those infected, however they do allow for condom distribution in order to slow the spread of the disease.

So in order to help - a government official decided to take a bribe and allowed defective condoms to be purchased!

Surprise - he wasn't put to death!

Really- should we care about Africa- when the Africans do not seem to care about each other?

-Yes

-But WHY

- Because it is what Jesus would do.
- and Because there are corrupt officials everywhere - in some countries they even call bribes 'contributions'
