- Eating Socio-economic Rights: The Usefulness of Rights Talk in Alleviating Social Hardship Revisited
- 822. Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act 108 of 1996. Roughly half of South Africans live in extreme poverty and lack access to basic social services, including health services. The extent and distribution of poverty, as well as its racial and gender dimensions, are starkly reflected in community health status. As a result, South Africa's infant, under-5, and maternal mortality rates have been described as unacceptably high. See M. MacFarlane, 'Health and Welfare' in South Africa Survey 2004/2005, ed. J. Kane-Berman (2006) 335, at 338; G.C.Z. Mhone, 'The Socio-economic Context and Aspects of Social Security Policy in South Africa' in Introduction to Social Security, ed. M.P. Olivier et al.

The South African health system is severely inequitable, with an excellent but very expensive private health system operating alongside a severely strained public system, which caters for most of the population.

For a more detailed discussion of the conception, implementation, and impact of the pilot programme, see Heywood, op. cit., n. 10, pp. 285-90. While it nowhere explicitly relied on dissident science to back its claims in this regard, these concerns were in line with the government's broader, dissident-infused, scepticism towards anti-retroviral medication (id., pp. 296, 308).
