New infections are dropping now, so watch that average climb.<br />We still have large numbers living in poverty, and that doesn't help.<br /><br />But the fact is, a middle-class citizen of SA, of any creed, has a life expectency similar to developed european nations.<br /><br /><br />. darren");

FUNNY though, that the ANC agrees with the way SAB keeps most of their voters in a trance.... JOE BLACK");
