Khopotso Mangoenyane Bodibe, or Khops, as he was known, was one-in-a-million. The tributes posted below recall his humanity, his love, his compassion, his big booming laugh and the incredibly important work he not only did as a journalist, but as a social justice journalist at the height of South Africa’s heartbreaking and deadly HIV denialism years.
Week after week, Khops would produce his “Living with HIV” package which was broadcast in more than one language on SABC radio stations and community radio. It was groundbreaking work.
Khops was a colleague and friend; we drove thousands of kilometres to report on the HIV epidemic in our country, slept in many dodgy places, shared many meals and discussed everything from life to love to safe sex to cooking a pig’s head. His social media pages reveal how he urged people to mask up, get the vaccine and not to listen to the denialists.

Pretoria â Many young girls across the continent won t be returning to schools under the eased lockdown restrictions due to a high number of pregnancies that occurred since the Covid-19 pandemic hit Africa.
This was the sad reality shared yesterday by participants during a virtual round-table discussion hosted by MenEngage Africa.
Speakers deliberated on the impact of Covid-19 on the lives of men and women, and its effects on gender-based violence.
Teenage pregnancies were also highlighted as having been on the increase during the pandemic period. According to a report by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco), around one million girls across sub-Saharan Africa who fell pregnant during Covid-19 school closures will not be returning to school.
