She was raped and murdered in her hometown of KwaThema, Springs, Gauteng.[1] FootballSimelane played as a midfielder for Springs Home Sweepers F.C.[2] and the South Africa women's national football team. She also coached four teams and was studying to be a referee.[3] DeathSimelane's partially clothed body was found in a creek in KwaThema. She had been abducted, gang raped, beaten, and stabbed 25 times in the face, chest, and legs. She had been one of the first women to live openly as a lesbian in KwaThema.[1] A report by the international NGO ActionAid, backed by the South African Human Rights Commission, suggested that her murder was a hate crime committed against her because of her sexual orientation.[1] According to local gay-rights organization Triangle, the practice of "corrective rape" is widespread in South Africa, whereby men rape lesbians purportedly to "cure" them of their sexual orientation.[1] The trial of four suspected attackers began on 11 February 2009 in Delmas, Mpumalanga.[4] One of the four alleged attackers pled guilty to rape and murder and was sentenced to 32 years' imprisonment.[1] In September 2009, another was convicted of murder, rape, and robbery, and sentenced to life plus 35 years, but the remaining two accused were acquitted.[5] HonoursA miniature bridge was erected in KwaThema, Springs, Gauteng in her honour in 2009.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/mar/12/eudy-simelane-corrective-rape-south-africa|title=Raped and killed for being a lesbian: South Africa ignores 'corrective' attacks|last=Kelly|first=Annie|date=12 March 2009|publisher=The Guardian|accessdate=2012-02-23}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.safa.net/index.php?page=tribute |title=Tribute To The Late Former Banyana Banyana Player, Eudy Simelane |work=Tribute |publisher=SAFA |date=2008-05-01 |accessdate=2012-02-23}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.gmax.co.za/think/pride/news/081003-jhbpriderp2008.html|title=Joburg Pride Wall of Rememberance (sic) |work=Gay & Lesbian Pride News |publisher=GMax.co.za |date=2008-10-03 |accessdate=2012-02-23}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.hrw.org/en/special-focus/stop-violence-live-updates-south-africa|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091217004341/http://www.hrw.org/en/special-focus/stop-violence-live-updates-south-africa |archivedate=2009-12-17|title=Stop the Violence - Live Updates from South Africa |last=Nath|first=Dipika|date=2009-02-11|publisher=Human Rights Watch|accessdate=2009-03-14}} 5. ^{{cite news |title=Life for killing lesbian activist |url=http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Life-for-killing-lesbian-activist-20090923 |date=2009-09-23 |publisher=News24 |accessdate=2012-02-23}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.thetimes.co.za/News/Article.aspx?id=988107|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090430133922/http://www.thetimes.co.za/News/Article.aspx?id=988107 |archivedate=2009-04-30 |title=Eudy Simelane honoured posthumously |last=Khupiso |first=Victor |work=The Times (South Africa) |publisher=Avusa |date=2009-04-30}} External links
