today28 February, 2024

Background

South Africa’s GOOD party is urging citizens to reject the politicization of LGBTQIA+ rights. The party strongly condemns former President Jacob Zuma for labeling the legalization of same-sex relationships as a disgrace. The party argues that Zuma’s remarks undermine constitutional protections, worsening the daily struggles of that community. Spokesperson Carlos Mesquita calls on leaders to denounce such statements and uphold the rights of these citizens, advocating for a society that respects and protects this constitutional minority.
