@Sipha_Kema This idea that someone is “finally resting” —after being brutalised while alive and then brutally killed — is not it. It’s no consolation. If anything, it waters down the cruelty of it all. I had to die for you to stop? Can’t be. #justicefornamhla.

@Sipha_Kema You misunderstood my tweet. I’m definitely not taking away from the horror of your experience. If anything, I’m saying dying isn’t the only injustice when you have to live through it. And then be reminded of it daily. And then to live with the scars of it.
