Additional quotes by Zanele Muholi

I cannot give up myself and my soul simply because I need some exposure.

But the fact that we have one of the most advanced constitutions has had little impact on mindsets in townships. Members of our community are celebrating the constitution, but it is very different in the society.

They should hold workshops on the constitution in all the townships - people are not aware of our rights and needs.

If I wait for someone else to validate my existence, it will mean that I’m shortchanging myself. - Zanele Muholi
