Hello, everyone ~
One of the other people who you will now definitely want to have on each of
your respective programs is Winstone Zulu, the Zambian "AIDS activist"
who I have been telling you about. (Elombe and Bernard, as you'll recall,
you both had the opportunity to speak with Winstone by phone when he was in
Toronto in early May.) Winstone "came out of the closet," so
to speak, as an "AIDS dissident" at the second meeting of President
Mbeki's "AIDS Advisory Panel" in Johannesburg on July 5th and 6th.
He made a number of very strong statements as part of his contribution to this
panel discussion. The article below is from the South African media, and
was written as a result of Winstone's first press conference as a "dissident,"
which took place on July 13th at the big Conference in Durban. As of now,
Winstone's "new" views have appeared in (on) the Village Voice, the
San Francisco Chronicle, WOZA, and E-TV (an African TV network). He has
also been interviewed by the Sowetan, by National Geographic for an upcoming
feature exploring all sides of the "AIDS" debate, and he has been
filmed and interviewed for two upcoming full-length documentaries.
Please contact me to schedule an interview with Winstone. Coming from
the so-called "epicenter" of the "AIDS epidemic," I guarantee
that he will open your eyes, not to mention the eyes of your listeners.
Those of you who have already spoken to him will easily remember that he is
extremely eloquent, well-spoken and knowledgeable about all aspects of this
issue, and he adds a unique and seldom heard perspective to the debate.

'WE NEED TO QUESTION THE CAUSE OF WHAT IS CALLED AIDS IN AFRICA'
WOZA, 13 July 2000
Winstone Zulu, an HIV-positive, pro-dissident member of President Thabo Mbeki's
AIDS advisory panel, has said that the South African scientific community needs
to question what causes AIDS in Africa.
After testing HIV-positive in 1990 and being given only six years to live, Zulu
remains alive and well without AIDS treatments 10 years later.
Zulu briefly experimented with anti-retroviral treatments in 1997 in response
to a bout of tuberculosis. After experiencing severe side effects, he realised
that these drugs did not enhance his quality of life, and he has since chosen
to decline treatment.
Mr Zulu now publicly questions the use of expensive and highly toxic anti-HIV
drugs to treat a weakened immune system. He also questions the belief that the
weakened immune system condition called "AIDS" is caused by a single
virus called "HIV".
Mr Zulu, the first Zambian to publicly announce his HIV-positive status 10 years
ago, has risen to international prominence as a PWA activist.
He was the Lead Rapporteur for the Community Track at the final plenary session
of the XII World AIDS Conference in Geneva in 1998. He has been involved in
the founding of numerous AIDS service organisations throughout South Africa,
and has been invited to speak at many international conferences.
He is the only member of President Thabo Mbeki's AIDS advisory panel who is
not a doctor or an academic.
Zulu said, "In looking at my passport, I realise that over the past nine
years, I have traveled to 23 countries, doing AIDS-related work. Sometimes I
ask myself, in all this time, and in all these conferences, what have we achieved?"
As a member of Mbeki's AIDS panel, Zulu has been encouraged by others to do
"what is best for Africa". This, he says, involves a fundamental questioning
of the accepted causes of AIDS in Africa.
