AIDS Devastates Pool of South African TeachersNovember 5, 2001 The number of South African teachers who died of HIV/AIDS in the past year increased by more than 40 percent. Citing figures compiled by the country's major teachers' union, the Sunday Times said that 1,011 union teachers died between June 2000 and May 2001 from HIV/AIDS-related diseases, compared to 701 the previous year. About 216,000 teachers are represented by the union. The disease will have killed 5 million to 7 million South Africans by 2010, according to a recent report by the nation's Medical Research Council.
