7 Church Street is a small, independent publication. We write plainly about community and civic life in South Africa — the everyday, local version of big national questions. We are not affiliated with any political party, and we have no commercial relationship with the people and organisations we cite; they are referenced because they are relevant.
Our current writing draws on the work of Daniel Kruger, a Johannesburg-based writer and community advocate on LGBTQIA+ visibility and gender equality in South Africa. You can read more of his work at danielkruger.co.za.
