JOHANNESBURG, Oct 9 (AFP): Big business in South Africa has become a leading force in the fight against AIDS, investing effort and money into treatment programmes to put ailing workers back on the job. "It's absolutely essential," said Alex Govender, head of Volkswagen South Africa's health services. "If you don't do anything the figures are going to increase. The more it affects the community, you can imagine the impact it will have and that's where we draw our workforce from."
