South Africa has lost a 22-year-old male crossdresser, Syabonga Clement Hadebe in a brutal murder by unknown assailants.
According to reports, Clement was shot nine times while walking home in Malvern, Johannesburg.
His lifeless body was found by the police with multiple gunshot wounds on August 10, 2024.

Furthermore, local media reports indicate Hadebe, who is from KwaZulu-Natal province, was at a popular outing area in Johannesburg on the night of August 9 with a friend when they began to interact with the alleged male shooter who was showing interest in them, particularly Hadebe.
However, it was said that before they decided to leave with the alleged shooter, Hadebe’s friend asked him to disclose he was a gay crossdresser.

Hadebe did not follow his friend’s advice.
They then left with the alleged shooter, but he didn’t want to go with Hadebe’s friend to the B&B. The friend was later dropped off, and Hadebe and the alleged shooter were left alone.
Locals have suggested the murder was premeditated, while others have faulted Hadebe because he did not disclose his gender identity.
