Article-Summary: 

South African President Thabo Mbeki in his State of the Nation address to Parliament last Friday "was silent on the key challenge of AIDS," Reuters reports. Mbeki "shrugged off" renewed demands from hundreds of AIDS advocates who marched on Parliament, calling for the government to reconsider its "go-slow" approach to the epidemic.
