LGBTQI+ activist and founder of the Feather Awards, Thami Dish, is calling for the speeding up of the justice system, especially in cases of crimes against the queer community.
The activist’s reaction follows Tuesday’s conviction of Arthur Khoza (19), Mahlatsi Nkuna (21), and Thato Mosetla (22) for the brutal murder of popular queer activist, Sam Mbatha.
The matter was postponed to the 25th of July for sentencing.
The three were found guilty of robbery with aggravating circumstances, kidnapping, murder, malicious damage to property and defeating the ends of justice.
They hacked, burnt to death the openly gay 24-year-old Mbatha in Klipgaat in 2021, in what was believed to have been a hate crime.
Speaking to YNews, Thami Dish described the conviction as a small victory for the entire queer community.
