Talented artist and ‘kind soul’ brutally murdered

Talented LGBT+ artist and flight attendant Aubrey Boshoga was brutally murdered over the weekend, and his body was discovered outside his home in South Africa.

Eyewitness News (EWN) reported that Boshoga’s body was discovered outside his home in Observatory in Johannesburg, South Africa. According to EWN, Boshoga, 38, was stabbed multiple times over the weekend before he was dropped off at his house.

Boshoga’s sister, Josephine, confirmed his death to EWN on Monday (31 May). She said CCTV footage from the “early hours of the morning” showed a “white car” dumping her “brother’s lifeless body” outside his home.

“So I think he died in the early hours, around midnight,” she said. “And people started seeing his body at 6am [on Saturday morning].”

South African Airways (SAA) also confirmed Boshoga’s death in a statement to News24. SAA spokesperson Vimla Maistry said the airway was informed about Boshoga’s death on Monday and said Boshoga was a “passionate member of SAA who served as a cabin crew member”.

Police were not able to provide any information about Aubrey Boshoga’s death to News24.

The LGBT+ activists and friends of Boshoga remembered him as a man who was very much loved in the community. Psychologist and writer Suntosh Pillay condemned Bosoga’s death on Twitter. He said LGBT+ people in South Africa “continue to suffer unrelenting hate and violence”.
