But last week, the State Department announced that it would be ending its support for PEPFAR in South Africa. The UN has warned the decision could end up costing lives. <\/p>\n<p>US officials told the BBC that the funding cut was in part a response to South Africa&#8217;s alleged failure to protect the white-minority Afrikaner community, an accusation Pretoria rejects.<\/p>\n<p>Asma speaks to the BBC\u2019s Senior Africa Producer Ed Habershon about what drove this decision and what the impact could be. <\/p>\n<p>New episodes of The Global Story are released daily.
