Between December 2015 and April 2016 there has been an increase in hate crimes in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Among these cases, is the tragic story of a young lesbian, Lucia Naidoo. On the 19th of March 2016, Lucia from Katlehong was stabbed to death outside her home in the East rand. About two weeks later, a few streets away from Lucia’s house, a young gay man Tebogo was also murdered in his home in Volsoorus. He had gone out with his friends and returned to 5 men breaking and entering into his home. Tebogo's property was taken from his home and the four men raped him with a stick, stabbed him to death and decapitated him. Iranti-org, along with two community based organizations, IHAWU and Voslo Activators documented both the cases.
