What did South African AIDS activists contribute, politically, to
early international advocacy for free HIV medicines for the world's
poor? Mandisa Mbali demonstrates that South Africa's Treatment
Action Campaign (TAC) gave moral legitimacy to the international
movement which enabled it to effectively push for new models of
global health diplomacy and governance. The TAC rapidly acquired
moral credibility, she argues, because of its leaders'
anti-apartheid political backgrounds, its successful human
rights-based litigation and its effective popularization of
AIDS-related science.The country's arresting democratic transition
in 1994 enabled South African activists to form transnational
alliances. Its new Constitution provided novel opportunities for
legal activism, such as the TAC's advocacy against multinational
pharmaceutical companies and the South African government. Mbali's
history of the TAC sheds light on its evolution into an influential
force for global health justice.
