Thuso Mbedu opens up about family member who died from HIV/AIDS

"Yesterday I was invited by the @ejaf to be one of the presenters shining a light on the HIV/AIDS crisis. When the invitation came in, accepting and honouring it was a no-brainer for me as I lost a family member to the AIDS virus less than two months ago.

"Yes, leaps and bounds have been made in terms of educating and aiding people living with HIV/AIDS but there’s a lot more that still needs to be done. Keep educating yourself and those around because if you know better, you do better."
