Pinky Shongwe had her life cut short in a suspected hate crime because of who she loved Pinky Shongwe, a 32-year old lesbian woman, has been brutally stabbed to death, reportedly because she simply rejected a man’s romantic advances. According to SABC News, on 13 March, police received reports of a body lying along a path in Umlazi H-section, just outside of Durban . “Upon arrival at the said place, police found the body of a woman with an open wound and other injuries on her eye and she was declared dead on the scene,” said KwaZulu-Natal Police Spokesperson Nqobile Gwala.
Shongwe’s sister, Nombuso, told the SABC that her sibling had gone to a nearby shop with friends and on her return, she was approached by a man who professed his love for her.
It’s alleged that when she told the man that she dated women, he stabbed her to death in a rage. “Pinky was a very quiet person and respected people, I wish the person who killed her be found.
We want justice as the family, everyone has a right to life and live the life they want and have a right not to hide their sexual preference, Pinky was openly gay,” said Nombuso.
