As the Communications Officer of the LGBTI advocacy organization, Rock of Hope, Simelane uses his voice to bring awareness to the conditions under which the LGBT+ community and all minority groups live in Swaziland. In challenging power, his approach is guided by the belief that change cannot be achieved without mutual respect and consultation. His work also expands into HIV/AIDS advocacy; an endeavour he pursues relentlessly in Swaziland and when the opportunity arises, abroad too. He is also a peer counsellor and educator at the University of Swaziland, where he currently studies a B. Com Marketing degree.
