Kenya - UNICEF has hailed departed South African youth AIDS activist and Digital Diarist Thembi Ngubane, who died Thursday at the age of 24.
The UN agency described the late Ngubane as “a uniquely positive force and a tireless campaigner for people living with HIV.”
In 2006, Joe Richman – a producer with the Radio Diaries project of National Public Radio (NPR) in the US – encouraged Ngubane to describe her life with HIV in the form of a diary on the NPR programme, 'All Things Considered'.
“Through her diaries, Thembi shared all she had learned about coping with HIV in her daily life in an open, gentle and humourous manner, offering hope and support to thousands of people affected by HIV and AIDS,” the agency said in a statement from Cape Town.
