I HOPE SOME PRIVATE COMPANY CAN FIND A POSITION FOR HER BASED ON HER CAPABILITIES AND EXPERIENCE.SHE MUST HOWEVER RELOCATE TO PROTECT HER KIDS.AND THIS SHOULD SERVE AS CAUTIONARY TALE TO ALL THOSE MONEY HUNGRY WOMEN OUT THERE.YOUR FIRST AND PRIMARY DUTY IS TO YOUR CHILDREN.IF YOU MAKE ANY DECISION THAT HARMS THEM IN ANYWAY WHILE SELFISHLY CHASING AFTER MONEY KNOW THAT IT WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.SHE DOESN'T DESERVE ANYTHING FROM ANYBODY,BUT WE SHOULD CONSIDER THE PLIGHT OF HER SON AND HELP IF WE CAN.

Damn you.who should hang her,your rather the hypocrite were you able to hang any evil whites doctors in south Africa who were systematically spreading HIV virus to the indigenous blacks Africans. even Abraham the friend of God has to lie to save his life,how much more your children would come back home from school devastated with bitterness looking at your face and telling you how your stigma of either sickness, poverty has infected them causing their mates to laugh at them.

Not only that, she still wants to be compensated! The explanation (excuses) she has given for lying do not make any sense to me.

This woman needs to be checked by a psychologist!

I heard you Lawyer on several radio and tv stations saying exactly what you are saying now, and that people should consider all that you've mention now and not to condem you, on a tv night programme at 10pm I heard him arguing on your behalf, saying the same things you are saying now but you arrogantly came public that youve dismissed him even though I was told he was working for you for free, pride would end nowhere.

King togba or whatever your name is did you read the article before commenting on it? Why are you cursing her, do you know the value of life, why are some of have idiotic mentality, are you God to curse her?. I don't see any good reason for you to curse her do you know what a curse without a course can't never stand. Be careful with your life else you don't attract these curses for yourself before its back to sender.

Though your story sounds very pathetic,whoever advised you in the first instance to lie about your HIV status, did you a great disservice despite the stigmatization of your children.Coming out now to readmit your Positive HIV Status in the face of financial challenges & your plea for financial help leaves doubts in many minds.Also,your sudden turn around leaves your trustworthiness hanging by a thin thread.You have now put your children in the worse state of mockery.I sincerely wish this saga will be laid to rest but I also sincerely suggest you deepen your faith in the Lord and never allow challenges of life to make you sell the TRUTH about yourself.Wish you well.The Lord will always be your strength if you keep trusting in Him.

Now you have lost all credibility and frankly, I do not know which to believe again. My advice is that you shut up and let us get on with our lives. Your constant coming into news is beginning to irritate some of us.

Our Father in Heaven, Bless and heal the sick. No one should blame anyone who contracted a virus or a bacteria and become a career or an agent. There is no barrier for sickness. What made me sad was the lady who terminated her appointment. In reality, JOYCE deserve to be real AMBASSADOR to educate the public about this deadly disease. An experience person is the best teacher because he/she has been there. You can't punish someone who is already facing a psychological problem. FOR HEAVEN SAKE, I THINK HER BENEFIT MUST BE RESTORED IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF. Does the AIDS commission using her to educate for PROFIT? NONSENSE. Joyce needs comfort, She is homeless now, she is hungry. God will not forgive those who intentionally denied his fellow being a bread or water. MR PRESIDENT, ON HUMANITARIAN GROUNDS, USE YOUR POSITION TO SHELTER THIS LADY AFTER ALL, SHE HAS DONE A LOT FOR THE NATION. Whether she lied of not lied, SHE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO KEEP HER HEALTH STATUS CONFIDENTIAL. I believe she has not criminalizing herself by sleeping with men to spread the disease. LORD HEAL THE SICK.
