Hundreds test for HIV at Soweto Festival

“If you spread the message to just one or two people and they spread the message to one or two people, millions of people will get the message.”

These words by singer Loyiso Bala, a 46664 ambassador, sum up the aim of 46664’s involvement at the Soweto Festival recently – spread the word about HIV/AIDS.

Shackling HIV/AIDS

A bit of metal around one’s wrist is not always a choice.

For the political prisoners during apartheid, a loop of metal around a wrist or ankle was a symbol of oppression, of a lack of freedom, of a lack of democracy.

For families of these prisoners and supporters of the struggle around the world, a metal bangle around the wrist, with the prisoner’s number or name on it, was a sign of support for those who were incarcerated.

It was in this spirit that 46664’s silver, gold and platinum wrist bangles were launched in South Africa tonight at a star-studded event in Sandton, Johannesburg.
