Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng has celebrated Cameron for the important role he played in making AIDS drugs freely available. Cameron took the extraordinary step of quitting anti-retroviral treatment, putting his own life in jeopardy, until it was freely available for all who needed them. It worked and the medication is helping millions of people living with HIV/AIDS. Chief Justice Mogoeng thanked Cameron for his immense contribution.
