Young HIV/AIDS activist remembered

South Africa's youngest HIV/AIDS activist will be remembered on 1 June, the South African Press Association (SAPA) reported on Tuesday. Nkosi Johnson died on this date last year at the age of 12, after living with HIV/AIDS since birth. "Nkosi stood and fought so hard for the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS, particularly mothers and children," Nkosi's adoptive mother, Gail Johnson, said. Johnson said candles would be lit during a memorial service to represent the country's estimated 76,000 HIV/AIDS orphans. "One of Nkosi's biggest concerns was that HIV/AIDS orphans should receive acceptance and quality care," Johnson added.
