Cape Town Lesbian Murder May Be Part of a Larger Epidemic
by WingerJock
On April 20, award-winning lesbian photographer Zanele Muholi was the victim of a burglary at her Cape Town, South Africa home. The thieves did not bother taking the expensive electonics in Muholi’s Vredehoek flat, but managed to find and steal 20 of her external hard drives, which contained five years’ worth of archived photos. Muholi’s irreplaceable loss is devastating, but a more pressing issue is at stake: the life of each African lesbian who was cataloged in her work.
