EZULWINI – Shebeen patrons assulated a gay man who was found having sex in a
toilet with a married man in Ezulwnini.
Hardly a month after two boys were evicted from the same area where the incident
happened, Mvutjini, for being gay, *Sanele Mdluli (39), a self confessed gay man
was caught red-handed by a woman, who identified herself as Zikhali, inside the
toilet. The married man, *Musa Sukati, is a father of two.
Narrating the ordeal, Zikhali said the community was aware of Mdluli’s gay
tendencies but were shocked by Sukati.
However, she said it was a shock to see them in broad day light. Zikhali said
the incident happened last Sunday.
“We were having some drinks at my neighbour’s shebeen. The two started
touching each other inside the room we were sitting in and we told them that
what they were doing was not acceptable since we knew of Mdluli’s gay
lifestyle,” she narrated.
After being warned, Mdluli is said to have left to go to the loo but moments
later, Sukati is said to have followed to the toilet. Zikhali took note of the
two and followed them to the toilet where she found the couple.
“I then raised the alarm; unfortunately Sukati managed to escape leaving
Mdluli behind,” she continued.
People who were having drinks promptly responded and tried to chase Sukati but
he showed them a clean pair of heels.
Mdluli was then assaulted by the patrons and they ordered an inspection to see
what gender he was.
“We discovered that he is a man and nothing strange from him.” she said.
Asked if the incident was the first of its kind, she responded to the
affirmative. “However, we all know that he is gay because he also says that
himself without fear. Catching him in the act was a first though,” she said.
