1. Local Portrait and Personality

Edward Mabutho worked in the South African gold mines for 12 years when he was released after a medical test showed he had TB and HIV. He is now very week and gets assistance from home health care workers This is the second time he has had TB. Once a miner has contracted TB the disease can lie in wait for more than 10 years until the patients immune system is weakened and the disease becomes active. South African Gold miners are particularly vulnerable to contracting TB because of the small, poorly ventilated living conditions, high rates of HIV and high rates of silicosis, a lung disease often found in miners that increases the chance of catching TB.
