Chairperson and hon members, as you would no doubt be aware, Sanac has launched the national strategic plan 2012-16. Among other things, the strategic plan seeks to extend provision of treatment so that we can arrest mortality rates and offer our people an opportunity to live longer and more productive lives.
Sanac has yet to receive a full briefing about project Ke Tla Phela, which means "I will survive" in Sesotho. It is a joint venture between the state- owned Pelchem Pty Ltd and Lonza Group Ltd, a Swiss pharmaceutical company. Sanac will not get involved in the project, since its mandate is confined to policy advice and oversight.
Ke Tla Phela is a welcome development because it supports our key national strategic plan objective, which is to provide affordable treatment. Overall, this project will benefit the entire country because of the availability of antiretrovirals at low prices.
