The attached programme is illustrative of the era. These were tough times. Getting an invitation was like a poison chalice. It showed the rift between the Mbeki administration and the people. AGISA was incomprehensible and deliver at great length.
Disability access was laughable. The minister injured a foot and arrived late in a wheelchair. The usually constructed stage had no disabled access certainly not for a wheelchair. So it took great deliberation to find 4 strong people to lift the wheelchair and minister onto the stage. The rest is a bit of a blur until lunch.
I chose a table near the door and went to get lunch. When I came back the minister and health MECs filled the table it was a conventient spot for a wheelchair bound person. The minster ordered wine, the only person in the room to do so. I had a diet cold drink. The minister stated how poor my choice refreshement was, all the artifical sweetners were terribly bad for me. The MEC ssat sicophantically by and one even pretended to drink wine.

The social framing of disability is at the heart of the White Paper and follows on similar moves globally. However, WHO declines to make a clear exclusionalry defintion of disablitily.
HIV health programmes is mentioned on page 88 as a prime intervention in South Africa. The only clear funding at a national level is for HIV-related programmes via a conditional grant. Disability is framed as a social issue and added as a priority via the social chapter of the National Development Plan (NDP).
his means in effect the prevention and treatment of NCDs preventable sight loss like diabetes and hypertension are not considered in this policy as it follows the social model of disability. This kind of dualism is outdated. Deal with social issues but allow for the causes to be addressed directly through the National Department of Health. with funding.
That means making NCDs a priority in chapter 10 of the National Development Plan.
