Prostitution survivor movement to protest in court in solidarity with murdered Siam Lee's mother

Lee, a Durban escort in her 20s, was held captive for more than 24 hours before she was bludgeoned to death and her body set alight in a secluded sugarcane field in New Hanover in central KwaZulu-Natal in January 2018. She was allegedly snatched by a businessman from a brothel. The 30-year-old businessman, Philani Ntuli, is now facing a raft of charges, including the kidnapping and murder of Lee, as well as the rape of another woman.

She was the 19th victim of the Cape’s infamous prostitute serial killer of that period. Trish, who was murdered on May 15 1996, was his last victim – and also his youngest. In April 2013 Nokuphila Kumalo – a prostituted woman - was beaten to death in Woodstock, Cape Town. Renowned artist Zwelethu Mthethwa was convicted for her murder.

Kwanele has decided to stand in solidarity with Siam Lee’s mother and all the women who have died at the hands of men who had bought them for sexual acts.
