Johannesburg - Grave robbers in South Africa have dug up the bones of a former deputy minister of the apartheid regime to create a powerful "cure" for AIDS, the Sunday Times has reported.
"All that is left of Hannes Rall, a deputy minister of transport in the apartheid government, are a few bones in a plastic bag at a police station in northern KwaZulu-Natal," the newspaper said.
The newspaper reported that Rall's 75-year-old former farm manager had put the word around that AIDS sufferers who brewed the crushed bones of well-known whites into tea would be cured of the disease.
