President Cyril Ramaphosa (Pic: Alexandros Michailidis / Shutterstock.com) As South Africans deal with a spike in horror LGBTQ+ murders, an angry Mpho Buntse tells President Cyril Ramaphosa in an open letter that talk shops, speeches and press releases are simply not enough. Dear Mr President, As I pen this letter, I am overwhelmed by a series of emotions.
Emotions of great sadness, anger, disbelief, great shock, fear, as well as rage. Like many Queer activists, I cannot help but only be sympathetic to the families of the many Queer folks who on an almost daily basis lose their precious lives at the hands of the brutality directed at members of the LGBTIQ+ community.
