		Nkosi, who was born HIV-positive, died yesterday morning after becoming desperately ill at the end of December last year.
		Nkosi first came to the fore in 1997 when Johnson successfully took on parents at the Melville Primary School who were against the boy's admission.
		Nkosi said he was taken from his mother Daphne when he was two years old, because she also suffered from the disease and could not support him.

	Aids boy Nkosi loses 12-year battle for life - Telegraph
		Nkosi became a symbol of the fight against Aids when, aged 11, he took to the podium at last year's international Aids summit in Durban and gave an impassioned speech that caught the sense of powerlessness felt by HIV victims across Africa.
		Nkosi was prepared to risk all the stigma by declaring his status.
		Nkosi defied medical opinion by surviving much longer than expected, and he was praised for his bravery in the face of his medical problems.

	Nkosi Johnson \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited
		Nkosi Johnson, the fl face of Aids in South Africa, was a child who should not have died.
		Maybe Nkosi's power was because he was an "innocent victim" who caught HIV through his mother rather than through sex; perhaps it was because he had no agenda than to live for as long as he could and to help others from suffering similarly; possibly it was because he was fl and poor.
		But Nkosi Johnson's large bony head, frail skeletal body, and thin voice have become as much an emblem of suffering, activism and revolution in the era of Aids in South Africa as the dead body of Hector Petersen, being carried after the massacres in Soweto in 1976, was in the time of apartheid.
