IDAHOT Report 2016: South Africa

South Africans once again came out in support of IDAHOT with a broad range of activities, campaigns and events.
In Pretoria, OUT LGBT Well Being hosted a two day event alongside the Alliance Française and other members of the international community. The event featured spoken word performances, live music and an art show, all in support of IDAHOT 2016, and the local LGBT community.
In Cape Town activists from Let’s Face It visited a number of landmarks of the city in order to tour their Rainbow Africa. The tour also allowed the group to meet members of the public and discuss issues of discrimination within South Africa, whilst also raising awareness of LGBT issues in the country.
In Durban, campaigners from Same Love Toti held a family-friend beach work to mark the day. The day saw members of the LGBT community and their allies come together to celebrate diversity, and to tackle issues of discrimination within their community.
