Google is today honouring Nkosi Johnson with a Google Doodle celebrating the late HIV/AIDS activist’s birthday.

Johnson, who died in 2001 at the age of 12, was known for his efforts in educating South Africans about HIV/AIDS and the stigma surrounding the condition.

The sombre Doodle depicts Johnson standing above a sea of people with a microphone, ready to make a speech.

“Today’s Doodle honours the life and legacy of a voice of change heard by millions around the world,” Google said on its Doodle website.

The image has since encouraged South Africans to remember Nkosi Johnson too.
