(South Africa) - Sizakele Sigasa and Salome Masooa were killed because they were lesbians. This is according to the Positive Women's Network, an organisation advocating for the rights of South African lesbians, which said on Thursday that their murders "appear to have been a hate crime, committed by people who are intolerant of women and lesbians". Sigasa was an outreach co-ordinator at the network. The two women were found murdered in Meadowlands, Soweto, on Sunday. On Thursday, more than 200 people crammed into a small hall on the premises of the Ipelegeng Community Centre in Soweto to pay tribute to their friends and colleagues.
