Muhsin Hendricks, considered the world’s first openly gay imam, has been shot dead near the southern city of Gqeberha in what appears to be a targeted attack.
He ran the Al-Ghurbaah mosque at Wynberg near his birthplace, Cape Town. The mosque provides “a safe space in which queer Muslims and marginalised women can practise Islam”
