Today, 16 June 2020, is Youth Day in South Africa and it is with immense outrage and great sadness that the LGBTIQ+ community mourns the death of Kirvan Fortuin, a young beloved, talented, and vibrant community leader. We condemn the violence that has robbed us all of their beautiful life and all the amazing possibilities that came with it. As a collective of LGBTIQ+ organisations in South Africa, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to Kirvan’s family and loved ones.
