LGBTQI+ community to march on Union Buildings if Ramaphosa remains silent on gay killings
The LGBTQI+ community wants President Cyril Ramaphosa to speak out and condemn the killing of gay people.
This comes after six LGBTQI+ members were brutally murdered since the beginning of the year.
Several groups of affected LGBTQI+ communities gathered at the Constitutional Hill on Tuesday morning to brief the media.
The group's spokesperson Vigiana Magwaza told journalists that Ramaphosa's silence is very loud.
"We have been here before since the dawn of democracy, LGBTQI+ South African have been brutalised, raped and killed across our nation, the list is long.
"Not only do we fair for our lives but we continue to face discrimination all around us, social media platforms are full of queerphobia, threats but there are no consciences," she said.
Magwaza said if the president fails to address the nation on this matter, they will organise a march to the Union Buildings.
"This the beginning of mobilising queer bodies but not only queer people but also our allies."
