Cape Town - Nyanga residents and the family of slain 22-year-old queer woman Ntsiki Tyatyeka are furious as Vuyisile Madikane, who was convicted of her murder, is back in the area.
Tyatyeka was murdered in an alleged hate crime and Madikane was arrested in 2012 after her remains were found at his house in a wheelie bin.
She had been reported missing for more than a year.
Madikane was convicted and sentenced to 15 years behind bars. He was released from prison in September last year.
