I live in thokoza where Nokuthulu lived and was killed . Just wanted to make the point that corrective rape and murder are not a general practice in our township and these brutal murders were both shocking and disturbing . Openly lesbian community in thokoza is "growing" and although the hate fueled deaths of innocent people cannot be excused they have not been in vain , they have opened the eyes of many to the realities of homophobia and contributed to the active fight against all types of hate in all places.zibusisozethu sitholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595599920788578636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165780438929797577.post-63940074862130904132011-04-30T09:06:23.472-07:002011-04-30T09:06:23.472-07:00Thanks for posting this Jennifer - Hope all your r...Thanks for posting this Jennifer - Hope all your readers take action --- international pressure *does* make a difference! The SA Min of Justice will have to pay attention. (But, I grew up near Kwa Thema - where Noxolo & Eudy were attacked - and seems to me that changing attitudes, undoing the generations of misdirected post-apartheid anger, power-dynamics etc is going to take years...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
