He became addicted to drugs [3] and contracted HIV. The real-life physician Dr Sindisiwe van Zyl portrayed herself and played Diederik's doctor. The 7de Laan HIV Awareness Campaign was launched because South Africa has a HIV epidemic, due to a lack of education and misguided beliefs about the disease. [4]
