I arrived in Cape Town a year ago. I’m massively inspired by the queer community here, but I also know that it’s fraught with complications.

Pride is just around the corner, and I’m still in the process of understanding the politics and nuances behind the whole event. That’s why I got my buddies MISS, Queers on Smash, DJ Stibo and The Salon on Bush Radio 89.5 FM to join me for the #SistersOnPride Twitter Chat on the 22nd of February to share their points of view!

Here are the highlights:
