Despite being the province with the most HIV-related deaths, the KwaZulu-Natal Aids Council says that the latest statistics showed it is winning the battle against the spread of infection.
Zwelithini also voiced his support for the controversial Tara Klamp, a Malaysian-made circumcision device that has been met with some criticism in this country.
“I know there are critics of the Tara Klamp. When I made the announcement about circumcision, I mentioned that this should be practised in a hygienic manner.
“The Tara Klamp helps promote hygiene during the performance of circumcision. No one should die as a result of the Tara Klamp,” he said.

Contrary to recent media reports, the Minister of Health Dr Aaron Motsoaledi has not given any instruction to anyone to discontinue the use of the Tara Klamp device in the medical male circumcision currently being conducted in the country.

Circumcision is one of the most common surgeries performed all over the world. It is generally performed either in a surgical THEATRE, at home or as in some countries even at the roadsides or in the bush etc.
Circumcision methods vary in different regions and problems e.g. infections, accidental amputations of the glans penis, bleeding etc. continue to occur. This happens even in circumcisions performed in an operating THEATRE. This research identified that most of these problems continue to occur because in all the circumcisions methods or devices invented so far, the surgery is of invasive type.
This invention enables circumcisions to be performed not only safely and easily but also ----- for the first time in surgical history ----- enables circumcisions to be performed just as aseptically, at home, on the roadsides or out there in the bush, as in an operating THEATRE. These problems are prevented because the surgery performed by this device is of non-invasive type.
