This is an archive of the Treatment Action Campaign's public documents from December 1998 until October 2008. I created this website because the TAC's website appears unmaintained and people were concerned that it
was becoming increasingly hard to find important documents.

The menu items have been slightly edited and a new stylesheet applied to the site. But none of the documents have been edited, not even for minor errors. The text appears on this site as obtained from the Internet Archive.

The period covered by the archive encompassed the campaign for HIV medicines, the civil disobedience campaigns, the Competition Commission complaints, the 2008 xenophobic violence and the PMTCT, Khayelitsha health workers and Matthias Rath court cases.

About Me

Themba Mbheleis currently a community organizer of Sedibeng and he is staying in Vereeniging. He joined TAC early 2002 and started to be active in activities in 2003 as a volunteer. The same year he was elected as the branch secretary and he has participated in most activities organized by TAC at District, branch, provincial and National level. When he joined TAC he didn't know much about HIV/AIDS, nutrition and treatment, and he has learnt more on these issues after becoming a member of TAC. During his school days he was active in Pan Africanist Student Organization(PASO) and community activities. It was difficult for him finding out about his status.
