　　1989年，小恩科西生下來體內(nèi)就攜帶艾滋病病毒，不久母親也因艾滋病去世。仁慈的白人婦女基爾·約翰遜收留了他。在2001年的兒童節(jié)，12歲的恩科西被艾滋病奪去了生命，生前他曾經(jīng)在大庭廣眾之下，指責(zé)過南非總統(tǒng)姆貝基，震驚全國(guó)。他，已經(jīng)成為南非反對(duì)歧視艾滋病患者有力的象征，也是同艾滋病進(jìn)行抗?fàn)幍男∮⑿邸?/p>

　　Nkosi Johnson 恩科西·約翰遜1989 - 2001

　　Nkosi, born Xolani Nkosi, was born to Nonthlanthla Daphne Nkosi in a township east of Johannesburg in 1989. He never knew his father. Nkosi was HIV-positive from birth, and was legally adopted by Gail Johnson, a Johannesburg Public Relations practitioner, when his own mother, debilitated by the disease, was no longer able to care for him. The young Nkosi Johnson first came to public attention in 1997, when a primary school in the Johannesburg suburb of Melville refused to accept him as a pupil because of his HIV-positive status. The incident caused a furor at the highest political level—South Africa’s Constitution forbids discrimination on the grounds of medical status—and the school later reversed its decision.

　　Nkosi was the keynote speaker at the 13th International AIDS Conference, where he encouraged AIDS victims to be open about the disease and to seek equal treatment. Nkosi finished his speech with the words.

　　"Care for us and accept us - we are all human beings. We are normal. We have hands. We have feet. We can walk, we can talk, we have needs just like everyone else - don’t be afraid of us - we are all the same!"

　　Nelson Mandela referred to Nkosi as an “icon of the struggle for life.” He was ranked fifth amongst SABC3’s Great South Africans. At the time of his death, he was the longest-surviving HIV-positive born child.

　　Together with his foster mother, Nkosi founded a refuge for HIV positive mothers and their children, Nkosi’s Haven, in Johannesburg.[6] In November 2005, Gail represented Nkosi when he posthumously received the International Children’s Peace Prize from the hands of Mikhail Gorbachev. Nkosi’s Haven received the US $100,000 prize money from the KidsRights Foundation as well as a statuette which has been named the Nkosi in Nkosi Johnson’s honour. Nkosi’s life is the subject of the book We Are All the Same by Jim Wooten.

　　恩科西，乳名Xolani Nkosi，1989年出生在約翰內(nèi)斯堡東邊的一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)上，生下來被喚作Nonthlanthla Daphne Nkosi。他對(duì)他的父親一無(wú)所知。恩科西出生時(shí)就是艾滋病病毒攜帶者，被約翰內(nèi)斯堡的公關(guān)從業(yè)員基爾·約翰遜合法收養(yǎng)，而他的生母，被疾病折磨得疲憊不堪，已無(wú)法再照顧他。1997年，位于約翰內(nèi)斯堡郊區(qū)的梅爾維爾的一間小學(xué)以小恩科西是艾滋病病毒攜帶者的身份為由拒絕接收他，此時(shí)小恩科西首次引起了公眾的注意。這一事件甚至在最高的政治層引起了一股騷動(dòng)——南非憲法禁止歧視特殊疾病狀況的群體——學(xué)校后來改變了它的決定。

　　恩科西是第13屆國(guó)際艾滋病會(huì)議的主題發(fā)言人。在會(huì)上他鼓勵(lì)艾滋病受害者公開病情并尋求平等的治療。他以這樣一段話結(jié)束他的發(fā)言：

　　“在意和接納我們——我們同是人。我們也是正常的。我們擁有手，擁有腳;我們會(huì)走路，會(huì)說話，我們有和任何一個(gè)人一樣的需要——不要害怕我們——我們是一樣的!”

　　納爾遜·曼德拉把他稱為“為生命而戰(zhàn)的偶像”。在南非廣播公司的最偉大的南非人評(píng)選中，他名列第五。直到他去世時(shí)，他已是攜帶艾滋病出生孩子中生存最長(zhǎng)的人。

　　恩科西和他的養(yǎng)母在約翰內(nèi)斯堡為攜帶艾滋病的母親和她們的孩子建立了一個(gè)庇護(hù)所——恩科西避難所。2005年11月，基爾代表恩科西在他死后從米哈伊爾·戈?duì)柊蛦谭蚴种薪舆^國(guó)際兒童和平獎(jiǎng)，恩科西避難所從兒童基金會(huì)獲得了100，000美元的獎(jiǎng)金和一尊為紀(jì)念恩科西并以他的名字命名的小雕像。Jim Wooten以恩科西的一生為主題寫了《我們是一樣的》一書。
