This saddens me every time i read and hear about the madness going on out in Africa (thanks to my homegirl Chris who always knows about the real deep issues going on in our community), this is why if you are of any influence you should use it for the great of good and make a change!

A young woman from the Nyanga township near Cape Town has been gunned down in her home in front of her mother and niece – reportedly for being lesbian.

Phumeza Nkolonzi was shot three times by a gunman who kicked down the door to her Nyanga, home and, without saying a word, gunned her down on Saturday evening. She was 22 and out and proud. The gunman is not known to the family.

Lesbian and gang lobby group, Free Gender, believes Nkolonzi was shot because she was a lesbian.

Phumeza’s brother, Solly Nkolonzi said his family were trying to figure out why his sister was killed.
“We don’t know why Phumeza was killed. She was not a naughty child. She was a lesbian, but she never did any wrong things.”
