#MichaCerf, vice chairperson of #RainbowUCT, said "Professor #PatrickLumumba has #expressed, quite explicitly, that he is a #selfproclaimed #homophobe. He has also called #queerness and #homosexuality #unAfrican and has expressed the fact that he believes what is happening in #Uganda is #good."

"The #queer #community at #UCT find it completely #unacceptable that someone like that is allowed to #speak on our #grounds, our #university where we come to feel #safe," said Cerf.

Cerf said the #message they were trying to get across by doing the #protest was that #QueernessIsAfrican and #HomophobiaisUnAfrican.
