The Armed Forces Day main event is currently underway in Cape Town, marking the sinking of the SS Mendi in the English Channel in 1917 when over 600 SA Native Labour Corps members and 33 crew members died. Armed Forces Day is a day on which the South African population honours men and women of the South African National Defence Force by affirming its support and gratitude to them for upholding the constitution of the Republic and defending the territorial integrity of the Republic and protecting its people.

The Web was ultimately designed to cater for everyone, everywhere and on any device, using any language and regardless of their ability. This means the Web must remove all barriers to communication and interaction that many physically impaired people face.

Web accessibility is the practice of removing barriers for people with disabilities on the web. Most commonly it refers to those who have temporary or permanent vision issues, people who cannot see the screen and rely on things like screen readers or larger text to access site content.

Ground breaking research conducted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles confirms that daily exercise can improve sexual function in “all” men who suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). What makes the research so significant is that for the first time a study was done that represented a racially diverse group of men.
In a country such as South Africa where the majority (78%) of men that are 20 years and older are black, the findings are significant - about 2.7 million men in SA over the age of 40 (roughly about 40%) suffer from ED (see press release below for more info).
Why are men suffering in silence when erectile dysfunction has such a huge impact on their lives? Are the enough avenues for them to explore when trying to deal with this problem? Why are men not talking about this – is it shameful?
