Positively Me

My name is Nozibele Mayaba, and I am HIV-positive.
I am a devout Christian who did everything by the book: worked hard, got good marks, found a steady job and helped to make life better for my family. In our neighbourhood, I was the girl other parents pointed to as a role model. Until a few months before my diagnosis at age 22, I was a virgin.
Women like me don't get HIV. But then I did.
It took me years to accept my new reality. Speaking out freed meand completely changed my life. Being HIV-positive wasn't my first challenge and it won't be my last, but it has been the hardest. It also taught me an important lesson: behind every statistic is a person with a name, a family, a story. This is my story.
My name is Nozibele Mayaba, I am HIV-positive, and I am still positively me.
An HIV-positive diagnosis may no longer be a death sentence, but it still changes everything. In this frank, vulnerable memoir, as told to acclaimed writer Sue Nyathi, activist and TV host Nozibele Mayaba talks about finding purpose when you think your life has come to an end.

    Sindiswa Fezzie Mbukanto was a small-town girl from Sterkstroom in the Eastern Cape, a place so hidden it’s often eclipsed by the neighbouring towns of Molteno and Dordrecht. Named after the Hex River, which traverses the town, its establishment served as a new missionary post for the Dutch Reformed Church. I believe this is where my family’s religious roots were formed.
