Top pediatrician, anti-apartheid activist, and international authority on HIV/AIDS, Professor Jerry Coovadia, has died at the age of 83.
Twenty years ago, he incurred the wrath of Thabo Mbeki’s AIDS-denialist government by insisting on scientific integrity and campaigning for the rollout of antiretroviral therapy in the late 1990s and 2000s. He grew up on Wills Road in Warwick Triangle, near the old Indian market. His mother had a big influence on his life. It’s from her that he learned a love for language and reading and later developed a deep appreciation of English literature, although she read in Gujurati. He was an avid reader and also enjoyed poetry, especially the works of Keats and Wordsworth.
