healthcare for them in the public health system. In the second episode of The Broken Rainbow, EWN looks at how at times transpeople are understood, but not always - including prescribing them questionable medication.

The Broken Rainbow is a six-part podcast series that seeks to unpack the ignored harsh realities of South Africa’s LGBTQ+ community. While South Africa’s Constitution affords this estimated minority group of 2 million the same rights as everyone else, many are attacked because of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

The family of anti-apartheid activist Imam Abdullah Haron says while they hope Monday’s inquest finding will bring them some closure, it’s also been a traumatic experience. 

Evidence heard in the Western Cape High Court in 2022 suggested that Haron was tortured for months and eventually died of his injuries in police custody when he was just 45 years old.

For years, the family pushed for a new inquest into his death.

Eyewitness News reporter Lindsay Dentlinger spoke to Haron's daughter, Fatiema.
