Standing behind the seats of the press conference room during the world economic forum on Africa in South Africa 2009, watching her answer questions and giving out comments of hope for the future to the pressmen for many people living with around the world especially in Africa was our first point of interaction. Learning each others' work did not take us a lengthy period until we were both invited as guest speakers at the only HIV focused session during the world economic forum on Africa 2009. Her comfort as a mother and an activist made me feel totally within my mates during a long discussion with her, of course i won't forget the words of wisdom and inspiration she ushered into my ears and inflicted on my mind "Follow your dreams and give the world a new face" she encouraged me. Today i stand equally happy as Mrs. Elizabeth Mataka on her appointment as a member of the Global Task Force on Women, Girls Gender Equality and HIV. This inspirational woman gave a solid huge piece of hope to an 18 year HIV positive youth and still her memories and words of inspiration linger for ages in my mind. I believe as many other people who know better than i; that she is no less than a resourceful source of hope to the African woman and the person living with HIV in Africa and the world at large. Thank you Mrs. Mataka.
