  • Summary

  • One evening, two weeks ago, Natan Mwanza was stabbed and killed at a bus stop in Melbourne’s south-west.

    He was 24 years old.

    Natan’s family had migrated to Australia from the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2008, and his death sparked an outpouring of grief from African diasporic communities in Australia.

    Historian and filmmaker Santilla Chingaipe also felt the impact of Natan’s death and sought to understand what had happened.

    But it soon became a story about how we write and report on crime – and how Black lives are treated in the media.

    Today, Santilla Chingaipe on the life of Natan Mwanza and how Black grief is rendered invisible.
