South Africa’s constitution is rated amongst the best in the world with clauses protecting the rights of the vulnerable people in society. These include members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTQI) community.

However, despite their rights being enshrined in the constitution, members of the LBTQI community remain at the receiving end of human rights violations.In the audio below, Author Mokone Mmola says he wrote the book to expose some of the challenges facing the LGBTQI community:follows the story of Kagiso, a student at the University of Limpopo, who explores his sexuality amidst a society that considers same-sex relations abnormal.

“This thing is gay. What a curse? I know the full story about you Kagiso and you are not going to play smart with us.” Thus begins Kagiso’s a long-term conflict with his mother and a journey to seek acceptance from the most important person in his life. Mmola says this is a reality for most members of the LGBTQI community who often find themselves ostracized by their families when they reveal their sexuality.

Members of the LGBTQI also face mockery, insults and others even lose their lives through hate crime.

By protecting thugs and murderous? WTF 😲

...and coloured people

Mnxm...while women n children r dying everyday..rapists getting paroles,and 3yr jail sentence...mmxm

LGBT+ are not vulnerable communities. They are in charge and dictate to us what we must say and do. That we must not read or quote the Bible. The poor are the communities.

Vulnerable communities

The constitution fails millions of Africans. The constitution of SA makes the African child to belong in a shack. Constitution of SA is user-friendly to those who benefited fro apartheid and those that are beneficiaries of political connections and few fortunate. Majority =no

Shame on the gay thing

In Africa its the worst coz its against African tradition

The same constitution that favors the rich & doesn't protect the rights of women and children

Yooh where is this coming from when we are busy fighting for our lives. Someone decides to feel our heads with secondary issues. Your so called sexual preferences are the last thing on our minds.

Let's try where it matters the most, the land and the economy. Its just a diversion of focu. We are fooled here.

In theory!

It might be the best for certain things, but look at our crime, murder and rape stats, that's more important than LGBT, government should definitely change the constitution and bring back the death penalty ASAP 💩💩💩☠️☠️☠️☠️

But failing women and children suka!

The constitution that accepts unAfrican practices!!!

But rejecting the landless!!
