South Africa's Treatment Action Campaign, which fights against HIV and AIDS, has launched a fund-raising group in London. FoTAC (Friends of Treatment Action Campaign) was set up South Africans in London to support the work of the Nobel Peace Prize nominated TAC in South Africa. Former ANC MP Andrew Feinstein is chairman of the new charity. Feinstein resigned as an MP in 2001 in protest over the government's refusal to investigate allegations of high-level corruption in the multi-billion rand arms deal. He now lives in London.
TAC has been campaigning for greater access to HIV treatment for all South Africans since 1998. This has involved challenging the government in court.
