It will be business and pleasure today at the Ministry of Health's headquarters where the hip-cracking jokes of Ntsoro the comedian should add humour to a somewhat hectic HIV/AIDS programme that will run from 8am till 5pm.

The day will kick off with a panel discussion on seven or so topics covering alcohol and substance abuse, abstinence, stick to one partner and condom use, multiple and concurrent sexual partners, intergenerational and transactional sex, and safe male circumcision. The panel discussion is part of the ministry's Youth Health campaign to commemorate the Month of Youth Against AIDS under the Theme: "Young, Gifted and Inspired - Monana Yo O Maikarabelo."

According to ministry spokesman, Themba Sibanda, Ntsoro the comedian will add a bit of laughter to the programme. 
He is scheduled to give a motivational talk on the day as well as a few jokes from his ever-ending reservoir of humour, which has already seen him adored by Botswana Television (Btv) fans as master of comedy during his Saturday Btv show, Mokaragana. He has also released several comedy DVDs where his Ntsoro character takes the funny side of life to another level.
