Health24.com | Son’s cry: ‘I am HIV positive, not cursed!’
Thulani Sibiya (23), a young man from Mpumalanga, who was diagnosed with HIV and advised to start anti-retroviral treatment, chose instead to please his family and turn to the church for help.
Prayers and holy water
Now Thulani is sick, has lost weight and has to face his family’s rejection if he chooses to take the treatment he needs in order to fight the virus. His story, according to the healthcare worker treating him, is not unusual as many young people find themselves having to face down the stigma of Aids.
When Sibiya told his mother he was HIV positive, she refused to accept the news and chose instead to take him to church for prayers and holy water.
Despite knowing about the HI virus and that he needed medical treatment, Sibiya chose instead to please those closest to him and to rather trust that they had his best interests at heart.
But as time passed, Sibiya grew sick and started losing weight despite his attending church with his mother. He felt his family did not understand his illness and were treating him as though he was cursed.
“By that time I knew I had to do something about my sickness, because I could no longer expect support from my family. I went to the clinic. My blood was taken and sputum for a TB test. My CD4 count results came back 117 and the TB test was negative. I was put on treatment immediately, but it hasn’t been easy,” Sibiya said.
ARV at a late stage
He said when he was tested positive for HIV he was aware of the importance of a good diet and lifestyle.
But as the years passed without treatment, stress began to overwhelm him.
“I neglected my health, started eating unhealthy food, smoking and drinking alcohol. Deep down in my heart I knew it was bad. My unhealthy body started failing to fight off disease and infections and my viral load became high. I got sick and I needed to started ARV’s immediately,” Sibiya said, explaining how he became increasingly aware of the need to properly handle his HIV status.
“Because I eventually started ARV treatment at a late stage with a weak immune system and high viral load, I know recovering will take a long time and it won’t be easy to fight sickness. That’s why I have been experiencing late HIV symptoms such as peripheral neuropathy, diarrhoea, coughing, weight loss, fever and tiredness,” Sibiya said.
But his mother, Thokozile Sibiya, still does not believe her son cannot be healed by the church.
Lack of support
“After drinking church water I received the answer to my prayers. My high blood pressure has been stable and I have not taken a pill ever since. What’s wrong with having faith? I have that same faith and hope for my son,” she said.
Lay counsellor Doris Nkosi said many HIV sufferers experienced a similar lack of support from their families.
“The reason why some HIV positive people die, and why some don’t want to start treatment is because of the negative influence of family members who do not accept their HIV status. Once you test HIV positive there is no holy water or prayers that can change your status, because there is no cure for HIV. But with healthy living and the right drugs it can be managed,” Nkosi said.
Sibiya said: “My advice to other people like me who are living with HIV is: Don’t wait until you become sick to start treatment, because it is not worth it at the end.” – Health-e News.

Circuit Managers Get Training On Data Driven District Dashboard
Eastern Cape Department of Education (ECDoE), in partnership with New Leaders Foundation, are training Circuit Managers on Data Driven Districts Dashboard (DDD), from all 12 districts, from the 02 – 05 May at the Education Leadership Institute in East London.
Institutional Management Development and Governance, Chief Director, Thembisa Futshane, welcomed all 104 circuit managers and all management present, Futshane excitedly says: “This is the 1st group to be trained in the Eastern Cape on the DDD Dashboard, so essentially you are pioneers, that means you have a huge responsibility to set the bar very very high for the rest that will follow.” Futshane went on to say, “It is very important to fully utilize this opportunity, and depending on how we implement this, change should be eminent.”
DDD which is managed by New Leaders Foundation officially introduced this programme to the Eastern Cape in 2016, through a summit that was held at the Education Leadership Institute. DDD Dashboard is a data visualization tool that will assist the Eastern Cape hugely, in terms of identifying shortfalls or problem areas at schools up to the level of the whole province. When speaking to Emmanuel Sibanda – Provincial Programme Manager of DDD Programme in Mpumalanga explained, “We are here to empower Circuit Managers on how to be hands-on on the DDD Dashboard in their daily duties.” “We want Circuit Managers to utilize the DDD Dashboard when having meetings and to assist with reports.” Overall our target is to assist the Eastern Cape, to monitor their overall performance and in so doing they can tackle problem areas, through the information they get on DDD Dashboard, before schools hit rock bottom.”
Deputy Director General of Institutional Operations Management (IOM), Raymond Tywakadi, highlighted important factors of a system that Education is working towards which are as follows
- Put learners at the center
- Embrace Inclusivity
- Transparency regarding the learning outcomes
- High levels of Accountability
- Deconstruct our understanding of performance
- Be a data driven system at all levels for more efficient decision making
- Evidence based reporting
- Improved coordination of systems at all levels
Tywakadi went on to encourage circuit managers by saying, “Take this programme seriously, we have a duty to deliver quality education to all learners in the Eastern Cape, and this is one way you can definitely help to make a difference in your circuit.” He cautioned managers saying, “We are running a system that is highly underdeveloped, because we are refusing to move forward, my challenge to you is to put your heads together and work on this Data Driven Districts, because by using data you can identify improvement areas in the districts and schools, together with a whole host of other benefits.”
Training for all 104 circuit managers will commence today and is being delivered by New Leaders Foundation. A very exciting week is to follow with key note addresses from our Honorable MEC and our Enthused SG.
