Edwin Cameron’s moving and powerful account of his life with AIDS is a story not just about being a survivor and a witness to an epidemic that engulfs this continent.
It is also a story about personal courage. It is about a man with a public profile who made the decision to reveal his medical status in the full knowledge that it would bare his personal life to South Africans and many others worldwide.
It is about a man who knew that he would attract opprobrium and the wrath of politicians.
