Cape Town - A 23-year-old man from Kuruman, in the Northern Cape, was beheaded last Friday, allegedly because he was gay.

Thapelo Makutle was attacked at his place of work in the John Taolo Gaetsewe district on Friday, MambaOnline quoted the NGO Legbo Northern Cape as saying.

Makutle apparently got into an argument with two heterosexual men over his sexuality.

The attackers allegedly followed him to the room where he lived and cut his throat, decapitating him.

Makutle, who identified as both gay and transgender, was a volunteer for Legbo Northern Cape which provides support for LGBTI persons in rural communities.

He was recently crowned Miss Gay Kuruman and took part in the Kimberley Out In Africa Gay and Lesbian Festival.

"It's so sad. I can't describe the pain that we are feeling right now," Shaine Griqua, the Legbo Northern Cape director, told Mambaonline. "We have lost a young, talented, gay man who was open about who he was. The last few days have been like a dark cloud."

Griqua said that hate crimes were on the rise in the province. He said that a lesbian was recently attacked at a bar but chose not to press charges as she didn’t want to involve her family.

Cosatu in the Northern Cape also condemned the killing and urged the provincial government to call a summit on hate crime.

Makutle’s funeral will be held on Saturday in Kuruman.

He/she's lucky they didn't try a corrective rape first. Or maybe they did and got frustrated when they couldn't find the right parts?
 
Good grief, when I saw the headline I said to myself the muslims are crazy...turns out it's right here in Crime Africa :wtf:
 
so how about some of that vigilante justice here?
 
well if we're going back to the middle ages, may as well haul out the stocks, pillory and iron maiden to mete out punishment...

fyi transsexualism doesn't require sexual reassignment surgery (srs). if that's what you were implying.

Article does not say anything about arrests or questioning of suspects so I am assuming nobody has been arrested. Strange because somebody must have witnessed him get involved in the argument with the two men. So why aren't these two men behind bars or at least being questioned in connection with the murder?

Possibly just bad journalism?

Tolerance for things like this is not very high in places like africa or the middle east.
