They were a founding member of the Gay and Lesbian Organisation of the Witwatersrand, or GLOW, which organised South Africa’s first Pride march in 1990. In 1995, Ditsie became the first African lesbian to address the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, where they called for the recognition of discrimination based on sexual orientation as a human-rights violation.

    Ditsie’s film work includes Simon & I, a documentary about their relationship with activist Simon Tseko Nkoli and the history of GLOW, and Lesbians Free Everyone, which revisits the Beijing address and the continuing struggle to place lesbian lives inside the language of human rights.
