Siya Khumalo | LGBTI people are already being killed over B-BBEE but do we realise this?

The writer asks if amending B-BBEE to incentivise LGBTI inclusion and visibility address hate crimes. (AFP) There’s been a spotlight on corruption, as well as the murders of LGBTI people. These issues are connected and can be addressed using B-BBEE to challenge hegemonic power, writes Siya Khumalo. An LGBTI conference hosted by the Thami Dish Foundation had Gauteng Premier David Makhura as one of its speakers. Prompted by the remarks of previous speaker Judge Edwin Cameron, Makhura waxed lyrical about how You Have To Be Gay To Know God was a very important book . In the photo ops that followed, I shamelessly wrapped an arm around him, gloating that my book on the ANC’s failures towards the LGBTI community had been hyped up by a politician who probably hadn’t read it.
