Not only does the the Baz Bus pick you up and drop you off at the backpackers of your choice, but the company also helps promote AIDS awareness, through a creative partnership with Wola Nani, one of SA’s leading AIDS crisis organisations.
Baz Protection
Baz Bus distributes condoms to all the backpackers on its route - and for each condom given out (but not necessarily used - very generous of Baz Bus), a percentage contribution is donated to Wola Nani.
You can make your own contribution to Wola Nani via the organization’s secure online donation facility - or just by making safe love during your visit to SA!

An SA Blog Valentine’s Day special post.
One of the most important social movements in post-apartheid South Africa centers around the fight for AIDS justice.
Zackie Achmat - TAC
Although the prevalance of AIDS in SA is among the highest in the world, the government’s response to the epidemic has been disturbingly misguided (see, for instance, this article from SA’s Health-E News) - possibly the gloomiest shadow to have crossed our first decade of democracy.
The Treatment Action Campaign, or TAC, has led the charge for a renaissance in AIDS policymaking, and remains the most effective of the government’s many critics. The TAC has repeatedly taken SA’s Minister for Health, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, to court, in an effort to force the public health system to supply life-saving medicines like anti-retrovirals. So far, it has had limited success. The judges regularly side with the TAC, but the Department of Health’s slow or inadequate responses to their orders spur continued action, both inside and outside the courtroom.
To contribute to the fight for AIDS justice in South Africa, visit the TAC website, which has a credit card donation facility. Or email the TAC direct: donatenow@tac.org.za.
