Always a treat to chat to @itsbethperry.bsky.social and @goodfellowtom.bsky.social This was a rollercoaster ride through joy, disdain, oppression and joy for LGBTQ+ folk in the city. Urban Radar is a cracking podcast taking an urban lens on current issues. Well worth a listen.

Justice delayed but not denied. Four apartheid era police officers have been put on trial in South Africa, for the 1987 murder of student activist Caiphus Nyoka. One has already pled guilty, and testified that the others were complicit as well. 37 years later. @thecontinent.bsky.social
SOUTH AFRICA
Apartheid-era cops
deny killing activist
Three former apartheid-era police
officers have denied participating in the
1987 murder of South African student
activist Caiphus Nyoka. Appearing
in a Johannesburg court on Tuesday,
Pieter Stander, Leon van den Berg and
Abram Engelbrecht pleaded not guilty
to the charges of murder. Another
former officer, Johan Marais, pleaded
guilty and was convicted last week. Nyoka,
23, was a member of the Congress of
South African Students. He was shot
dead on 24 August 1987 in his parents’house in Daveyton. In his guilty plea
last week, Marais directly implicated the
other Security Branch officers, saying he
was instructed “to take the deceased out”,
News24 reported.
