South Africa: Community organizations meet on lesbian murders

LGBTI organisations appear to be taking some action after the recent murder of a lesbian couple in Soweto. The Joint Working Group (JWG) - a national network of LGBTI organisations and partners - hosted a meeting on 18 July at Constitution Hill Women’s Gaol. It was attended by a range of organisations and individuals with the purpose of coordinating various initiatives in response to the murders of Salome Masooa and Sizakele Sigasa - two black, lesbian activists who were killed in Soweto two weeks ago.
