| | GMax - Queer legends: Steven Cohen at South Africa's "queer Mandela", Simon Tseko Nkoli, funeral (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | SEBOKENG, December 12, 1998 — A straight film-maker told me that when she pitched making a film about Simon Tseko Nkoli (a couple of months before he died) to film funders and administrators, none of them knew who Simon was. |
 | | And then there was the largest procession of vehicles to the Sebokeng cemetery - as the proud and sad community carried a fallen leader to his grave, a small wedding group passed in the opposite direction; ironic and depressing. |
 | | Helping with the food were delightful fags with a touch of lipstick or heels, and lining up or sitting about were priests and queens and dykes (in suits) and men and women young or old and gay and straight - a privileged experience to feel part of this community, this family. |
