SA's Ruling Party Hoping For 3 Openly-LGBTQ MPs After Elections (PICS) by MzansiCoolio: 8:19pm On Mar 14 |
For the first time, South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) National Candidates List for the upcoming elections features three openly queer candidates who may well secure seats in Parliament. Among them are Mmapaseka Steve Letsike, Eugene Manana, and Palomino Jama, described as seasoned activists in the social justice movement. Letsike, the director of LGBTIQ+ rights group Access Chapter 2, was in January 2023 co-opted into the ANC’s National Executive Committee (NEC), marking a significant milestone. Manana and Jama, both accomplished student leaders, were recently elected as additional members of the ANC Youth League National Executive Committee. In a Facebook post, Jama wrote: “While other African liberation movements are intensifying homophobic rhetoric and laws, while other parties domestically are using homophobic populist views to campaign, the ANC of Nelson Mandela is deliberately sending queer activists within its ranks to Parliament and legislatures.” The ANC-aligned Embrace Diversity Movement (EDM) hailed their inclusion as a significant step towards greater queer representation in politics. “This is a step forward, it a step towards placing the LGBTIQ+ agenda on top of government’s priority,” said EDM Secretary-General Mpho Buntse in a statement. “We are confident that these candidates, with their leadership experience and dedication to social justice, will be a resounding voice for queer representation in the National Assembly.” Buntse also welcomed the inclusion of Thandokazi Stefani, another member of the LGBTIQ+ community, as a candidate on the ANC’s Gauteng Provincial List. However, he voiced disappointment that ANC bodies in other provinces failed to field queer candidates. “We are aware that some provinces, with the exception of Gauteng, elected to not consider the clause on LGBTIQ+ representation as set out in the Nomination Guidelines by the Electoral Committee,” said Buntse. He called on the committee to explain the shortfall in queer representation on the provincial candidates lists. Arguably, the Democratic Alliance (official opposition party) has historically fielded the most vocally out LGBTIQ+ MPs in Parliament, although the ANC appointed Lynne Brown as Minister of Public Enterprises from 2014 to 2019. South Africa goes to the polls on 29 May 2024. 1 Share

South Africa just like the USA under Biden has become a nation begging for Destruction from above. A nation heading in Maximum speed to full blown destruction because of confused leaders. May God preserve HIS Children there from the Destruction. 1 Like |

tonicyril: We'll try our hardest best - thanks for the recommendation, it's clear that's common practice in your Nigerian chamber (speaking from experience). I thought you only engaged in fantastical corruption in your chambers over there but clearly there's extra curricula activities. |

tonicyril: That's what your mama senate president and papa president do when they're not carving Nigerian national budget for themselves. You obviously learnt the bonking that happens in parliament from watching them. On a serious note though, have you eaten today? Its heartbreaking your homophobia hasn't prevented your country from experiencing its current hunger crisis🥲🥲🥲 |
