PICS: Who wore it best at the 2020 Feather Awards?

The Feather Awards, synonymous with celebrating the LGBTQI+ community, returned for their 12th edition on Wednesday evening at Constitution Hill in Braamfontein.

Adapting to the new normal, the awards observed social distancing as they recognised and commended African queer people doing amazing things and the allies that support, entertain and inspire them. The usual flare of the categories, such as Drama Queen of the Year, went to Somizi Mhlongo and the “Kwa Somizi” saga, in which Hastings Moeng alleged that he was the brains behind the hit show Dinner at Somizi’s and had received no recognition over “his idea”.
