AIDS related deaths are the leading killer of children under five years old in Zimbabwe. The HIV-Aids virus is the main reason why 1.6 million Zimbabwean children are orphaned - on a par with the number of children orphaned in Rwanda after the 1994 genocide. Children with no parents in Zimbabwe face little or no hope for their future. Haru Mutasa reports from Goromonzi, a village in eastern Zimbabwe.

  • this is the most unchristian, inhumane and selfish attitude I have encountered for a long time.

  • How can you blame the children?

  • True, but the amount of people getting HIV from other means is only a small percentage of the total number of infections. While I have sympathy for people who get HIV who don't deserve it (that is, they didn't get it from promiscuity), I have none for the majority of HIV-infected people who get it through promiscuous activity.

  • Do not judge people, it seems like you follow the Bible and the bible says 'Do not judge'. These kids did not do anything, all they need is your compassion. People do not get aids because of promiscuty only...

  • I have no sympathy for orphaned children whose parents died from AIDS. Reason: Because their parents - or at least one of their parents - were being promiscuous. They shouldn't have been promiscuous. Everyone only needs to have one sexual partner their entire lives - that's all. Otherwise they're slutty. Moreover, if a man has sex while married, he definitely derserves to get HIV and, because he was an adulterer, deserves no sympathy.

  • Yes we definately need help not critism

  • Absolutely Right! the French own all the Oil there. To Ichbin, You're certainly something, Was? Weis Ich nicht! Was ist ein "Toober"?

    I was in Rhodesia for the "Handover" We didn't foresee this.

  • We human beings (being what ?) need to really help the kids orphaned by the cruelty of it's country's leaders. NO kids should be abandoned. NONE !

  • We haven't helped Sudan out, yet have we? And they got plenty of oil.

  • Yeah it's sad, but the parents died of Aids. The real question here should be, what can we do to stop the spread of aids?
