The New Hock Times news paper published on May 14, 2010; was about the rising percentages of people suffering from Aids in South Africa. In this case, South Africa is a nation devastated by HIV Aids which is a decease associated with social disgrace and shame. From the newspaper it can be seen that, the South African president Jacob Zuma has recently began to involve himself in an unexpected open discussion about sex, AIDs and HIV deterrence. Based on this, his hard works have been downplayed by current admittance that he had insecure sex during an extramarital relationship. In his effort to deter the vast expansion of HIV Aids in South Africa, he announced last month a huge extension of HIV testing and Aids services where he openly took a HIV test and revealed that his tests showed that he was negative; as far as the virus testing was concerned. On the other hand, South Africa has been categorized as one of the few African countries which discourage male circumcision. Based on this, Mr. Zuma in an inter
view confessed that; he had been circumcised and had heartened his sons to undergo the same practice which is said to minimize a mans dangers of constricting HIV. It can further be argued that, Zulu is one of the largest South African communities which have all along discarded male circumcision throughout the 19th century. Further; it should be noted that that as the community leader, Zuma had of late encouraged Zulu men to be circumcised saying that the act minimizes the risks of HIV contraction by a half. In this case, it is ethically and culturally right for male to be circumcised in order to reduce HIV contraction as indicated by health officials. According to the newspaper, South Africa has the highest population contracted with HIV Aids (5.7 million). It can further be argued that, Zulu community in South Africa considers it nonmoral as far as male circumcision is concerned. In this case, a Mr. Zuma act of circumcision indicates that, it is not immoral for Zulu men to get circumcised (Dugger, 2010).
