Soweto is an amazing place, it is the epitome of urban sprawl. Miles and miles of neighborhood. It all looks basically the same but every detail is all alive with color and activity. The close quarters can spark tension, last year on this date Sizakele Sigasa and Salome Masooa, vocal LGBTI activists and open lesbian couple, were brutally murdered. The killers have yet to been brought to justice. LGBTI organizations in Johannesburg held a march to raise awareness about the issue of hate crimes.
This was my first experience with any kind of group demonstration, it was a unique experience. Below are some video and images from the experience.
