Police in South Africa are “hot on the heels” of the suspects behind the killing of Muhsin Hendricks, dubbed the world’s first openly gay imam, Deputy Justice Minister Andries Nel said.
The 57-year-old 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 and his killing shocked the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
