Cape Town - Cape Town Pride with OUTReach Africa hosted a market at the Sea Point Civic Centre, yesterday, in an effort to raise funds for a care centre for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Funds raised will go towards the realisation of the Nkoli House Project, which hopes to serve as a home and safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community.
The Nkoli House Project, named in honour of the late South African queer rights, anti-apartheid and AIDS activist, Simon Tseko Nkoli.
Diagnosed in HIV while in prison, Nkoli was one of the first black anti-apartheid activists to publicly identify as gay and HIV-positive, in the early 1990s.
