Another queer South African woman has been lost to hate violence. It’s been reported that Nonhlanhla Kunene was raped and murdered in Pietermaritzburg last weekend. According to The Witness, the body of the 37-year-old was discovered near the Edendale Primary School on Friday 5 March. “When police arrived, they found that the woman was lying flat on her face and was naked from the waist down,” a police spokesperson told the newspaper. “We are waiting on the post-mortem to give us further information as the police did not find any visible wounds on the victim’s body.” “It is really sad that hate crimes and gender-based violence are still part of our daily struggle,” said the Pietermaritzburg-based Gay & Lesbian Network (GLN) on Facebook.
