Embracing the theme of "Get Informed, Get Involved!" a group of young community journalists takes the lead in the 2010 season of Siyayinqoba Beat It! which takes to the screen this August 2010. At the helm of the well-known programme about people living with HIV AND AIDS is Nokubonga Yawa, a vibrant young woman living openly with HIV.

The group of 9 community journalists investigate and report on a range of issues from teenage pregnancy, to male circumcision, to long-term survival. Each episode brings us face to face with a particular challenge facing people living with HIV and their support networks - partners, family, friends and health workers. As our Community Journalists take us on this journey we learn about solutions which allow us all to overcome these challenges and beat HIV and AIDS.
