HIV-positive mother forced to eat COW DUNG with her medication because she’s too poor to afford food

An HIV-positive mother has told how she is forced to eat cow dung alongside her medication because she is too poor to afford food.

Desperate Sibongile Khumalo, 45, took the drastic step after doctors warned her life-saving anti-retroviral drugs would not work on an empty stomach.

The South African mother of four told the country's Sunday Times newspaper she now consumes dried dung up to five times a week.
