South African police probe death of world’s ‘first openly gay Imam’ - BBC Africa
Police in South Africa said that they are "hot on the heels" of the suspects believed to be behind the killing of Muhsin Hendricks, dubbed "the world's first openly gay imam". The 57-year-old Hendricks was in a car when he was shot dead in broad daylight in the coastal city of Gqeberha on Saturday. The imam was well known for his work in creating a safe haven for gay and other marginalised Muslims. His killing shocked the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
