The University of Cape Town's Science department on Tuesday announced it has found a single dose cure for malaria.
Science and Technology Minister Naledi Pandor was also present when the announcement was made.
Researchers have been hard at work for several years and now believe they have discovered a drug that may annihilate a mosquito’s parasitic life cycle.
Clinical trials are set to take place at the end of 2013.

This means that millions of people could potentially get cured.
