Sex, domestic violence are some of the issues related to the HIV/Aids pandemic and dealt with in Siyayinqoba Beat It! which is now in its 7th season on on SABC 1.

Broadcast every Thursday, the show is presented by two people living with HIV and who reveal that it is possible to live positively in a world with AIDS. Siyayinqoba Beat It! takes viewers into the lives of people who are meeting the challenges of this extraordinary disease.

By employing community journalists with a unique affinity to their neighbourhoods, Siyayinqoba Beat It! is able to candidly reveal real life stories.

In the new season the key message of the show is Protect Yourself, Protect Others which is also tackled by way of public service announcements flighted during the show. These PSAs were conceived, written and directed by some of South Africa’s up and coming filmmakers.
