Abstract:

‘We almost woke up a little bit too late', said Clifford Mkhize with a wry smile as he discussed his company's response to the HIV/AIDS crisis. It was April 2005, and the consequences of the HIV/AIDS pandemic were becoming increasingly obvious. The private sector was taking more responsibility for what had initially been regarded as a public health and social issue, as businesses became aware of the implications of its failure to take proactive steps to halt the epidemic. Mkhize considered his company's response so far.
