Tribute
Sweet passage Sizakele Sigasa, Salome Masooa, Simangele Nhlapho,
Madoe Mafubedu and all those known and unknown who maintained a warrior stance.
May your attackers dwell in their torment and feel the wrath of the Divine Mother. Jai Maa.
May you be comforted in the knowledge that your transition was not in vain.
May your psychic wounds be soothed by the healing balm of ancient wisdoms.
May you be received in the loving embrace of the ancestors.
Om shanti, shanti, shanti om.
As Cherrie Moraga would say, “In the name of love as resistance” may we hold a soft gaze upon these images by Zanele Muholi with affection and in solidarity with our South African sistahs.
