- But, says Mr Malan, "the figures are computer-generated estimates and they appear grotesquely exaggerated when set against population statistics." In Botswana, the country with the world's highest AIDS prevalence, several reports had suggested that population had dropped from 1.4 million in 1993 to under a million currently, due to the AIDS pandemic.

Not true, says Mr Malan. "Botswana has just concluded a census that shows population growing at about 2.7 percent a year, in spite of what is usually described as the worst AIDS problem on the planet. Total population has risen to 1.7 million in just a decade. If anything, Botswana is experiencing a minor population explosion," the South African writer concludes.

This is an extremely powerful argument against the current "Aids in Africa" view proposed by the knowledge elites.

There was a thread on FR several years ago now, in which we went through the population growth in Africa over the time of the epidemic. I found the population of sub saharan Africa continued to grow at 3% per year exactly on trend, showing absolutely no evidence of any new significant cause of premature death. Thousands, even low tens, would not have altered those stats, but anything claiming 10% prevalence or more for a 90-100% mortality disease would definitely have shown up. It isn't there.
