Langwane has collaborated with Bradley Fortuin to celebrate the LGBTQI community with the first ever mural dedicated to them

FRANCISTOWN: A 29-year-old visual artist, Lincoln Langwane has collaborated with Bradley Fortuin to celebrate the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) community with the first ever mural dedicated to them displayed at the Gaborone Main Mall.
