Simon Nkoli is today the subject of songs, sculptures, an annual lecture and even a new musical.
Simon Tseko Nkoli had just turned 41 when he died in 1998 of an Aids-related illness. In his short life, the South African activist fought against different forms of oppression. He fought for those downtrodden because of their “race”. He stood up for those ostracised because of their HIV status. His greatest fight, though, was for those persecuted because of their sexual orientation.
