Victoria Beckham in South Africa to campaign for AIDS education.
The fashion icon and mother of four was appointed last month as an international goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Programme on HIV/Aids (UNAids).
Her interest was partly sparked by a visit to Cape Town in February this year, when she visited HIV clinics in the Mother City, where she learned about the importance of anti-retroviral therapy and about how children are being left behind in accessing treatment
Beckham visited Soweto on Sunday and was in Limpopo yesterday, she visited Ramokgopa Clinic, the Mothers to Mothers HIV treatment programme, where the staff tweeted “Lots of smiles & very happy to have our friend Victoria Beckham with us”.
Victoria Beckham tweeted over the weekend: “Meeting young women in Soweto, spreading HIV free messages @ejaf x vb ”
She has pledged to work towards ensuring that all children are born free from HIV and that children and women who are living with and affected by HIV have access to medicines and care.
“As a woman and a mother, I have a responsibility to support other women,” David Beckham’s famous wife said in a statement on her UN role.
