I’ve been reading a lot about Simon Nkoli of late. His coming out as gay during his imprisonment as part of the Delmas 22 in the 80s helped shift the ANC & broader liberation movement’s stance on discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. By the 90s, he & others lobbied directly for its constitutional protection, and it was. We do not honour him enough for the intersectionality of his anti-Apartheid work, and the need for the protection of human rights to continue to be thus.

Justice for Kwakhanya.
No queer body should ever be punished for existing.
No family should have to bury a child because of hate.
We demand accountability. We demand safety. We demand better. 🏳️🌈

A young queer life stolen in Khayelitsha. Sixteen-year-old Kwakhanya Mhlanganisi is brutally murdered in a suspected hate crime amidst the 16 Days of Activism Campaign. His family and community are calling for justice. https://t.co/x1EaUnEAMh
Don't look away.
The attackers allegedly placed him inside a 20-litre bucket when he lost consciousness and set it alight after stoning him and gouging out his eyes. Kwakhanya was 16 years old.
