The South African Human Rights Commission says the final report into the July 2021 unrest in KZN and Gauteng is expected to be released on July 24 this year.
The HRC was responding to questions in Parliament’s Justice and Correctional Services Committee when it presented the commission’s annual performance plan and budget.
“We have two of them working on the unrest report before it comes to commissioners. We have insisted as the panel that consist of myself, Commissioner Ntuli and Commissioner Nissen that a timeline is presented to us and we have raised a specific timeline in this regard. And I can report in that regard for example, the submission of the provisional unrest report to external stakeholders will take place on the 29th of May this year.
Human Rights Commission Chairperson Professor Bongani Majola says lack of salary increases is one of the reasons why the commission is unable to retain employees.“We had for example three provincial managers or two provincial managers who have decided to go into private practice because of the glass ceiling in the commission. We couldn’t increase salaries for staff quite a long time because of the limited resources that we have had. And we lost that.

South Africa: Courts to Decide Whether Pharmacists Can Start HIV Medicines Without a Doctor's ScriptIn August 2021, the South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC) published legislation in the Government Gazette to enable pharmacists to prescribe and dispense antiretroviral medicines (ART) for the treatment and prevention of HIV.

South Africans Await Go Ahead to Get ARVs Without Doctor's ScriptIn August 2021, the South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC) published legislation in the Government Gazette to enable pharmacists to prescribe and dispense antiretroviral medicines (ART) for the treatment and prevention of HIV. The initiative, known as Pharmacist-Initiated Management of ART, or PIMART, aims to address the low rates of uptake of ART prophylactic treatment in South Africa and close the gap between the numbers of people diagnosed with HIV and those initiated onto treatment, reports Catherine Tomlinson for Spotlight. Yet, almost two years after the legislation was published, pharmacists remain unable to initiate ART in South Africa. This is because a legal challenge has been brought against the PIMART legislation and its introduction by the Independent Practitioners Association (IPA) Foundation. PIMART aims to expand uptake of PrEP by allowing pharmacists to prescribe and dispense PrEP, which is taken as a daily tablet, without requiring that people first attend and pay for a doctor's visit and script or first have to visit a public sector clinic. PrEP is available free of charge in designated public sector healthcare facilities. PrEP, which can be used on an ongoing basis for long-term protection or over an anticipated period of risky sexual behaviour, is highly effective in preventing HIV. Yet, use of PrEP in South Africa remains extremely low despite the ongoing high rates of new HIV infections in the country.
