South Africa is widely-known for its red-tape, especially with its general treatment of African migrants trying to formalise their stay.

Mxolisi Ncube, in his article titled ‘HIV/AIDS prevention gives different face to SA health system’, notes that for those with no legal travel documents, the police, refugee reception officials, justice system and even hospitals, can be very brutal, adding that when it comes to the roll-out of HIV/AIDS prevention programmes, the stringent laws seemingly have some bounds.

Ncube states that from a select number of previous stories, South African maternity clinics can be inhumane towards migrant women and the nurses can be merciless towards such clients, yet those health institutions administering especially Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision have managed to attach a human face to this otherwise anti-migrant set-up.
