This week on Mamba Bites, we bring you three important stories highlighting the challenges, concerns and realities facing queer communities in South Africa and around the world.
First, we follow the latest developments in the Johannesburg “Grindr Gang” case, where the trial of seven alleged assailants has once again been postponed. The latest delay means another wait for the victim and his family, as calls for justice continue.
With South Africa’s local elections approaching, we hear directly from members of the LGBTQ+ community. They open up about what they hope to see from those vying for their votes.
Finally, we look at a disturbing new report by Outright International, titled Killed for Who They Are, which documents more than 230 killings of LGBTQ+ people worldwide between January 2020 and July 2026.
Through these stories, this week’s episode of Mamba Bites examines justice, political participation and the ongoing violence threatening LGBTQ+ lives.
