Charlie G Hawkins, who has played cheeky chappie Darren Miller for nearly seven years, and relative newcomer Zoe Lucker (Vanessa Gold) have announced plans to quit the soap.

Pretoria — South African Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe will lead a delegation to the United Nations high-level meeting on HIV/Aids scheduled to take place on 8 – 10 June 2011 in New York.

The aim of the meeting, which is being held at a crucial time on the road towards meeting Millennium Development Goals by 2015, is for member states to renew their political will and recommit to new targets in the fight against the pandemic.

Member states will have an opportunity to identify challenges, recommend strategies and review progress and map the future course of the global Aids response.

The gathering will also be a platform for countries to recommit to a sustainable response to HIV/Aids, broader health issues and the development agenda.

Motlanthe will be accompanied by Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi other senior government officials.
