legal wise
status of homosexuality: legal
age of consent: 19 (homosexual male and female) 16 (heterosexual)
Before 1968 South African statutory law provided for a uniform age of consent at 16 years. While this did not detract from the common law prohibition against all sexual contact between men, it did at least mean that homosexuals and heterosexuals were treated alike in statutory prosecutions for underage sex. In 1969 any immoral or indecent act committed by a male with a boy under 19 became a separate statutory offence, subject to imprisonment of up to six years with or without a fine of up to 12,000 Rand in addition to such imprisonment (Sexual Offences Act,ss. 14 (1) (b), 22 (f)). In 1988 it became an offence for any woman to commit an immoral or indecent act with a girl under 19 (s.14(3)(b)). This is the only reference to lesbian conduct in South African law. These discriminatory provisions remain in force. [2002]
laws covering homosexual activity:
On 8th May 1996 South Africa became the first country in the world to enshrine lesbian and gay rights in its Constitution: Clause 9. (3) reads: "The state may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds, including race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language, and birth." A similar provision had previously been included in the Interim Constitution adopted in December 1993. The ANC had formally recognised lesbian and gay rights as part of its policy at its policy conference in May 1992.
Same-Sex marriage became legal in South Africa on 30 November 2006 when the Civil Unions Bill was enacted after having been passed by the South African Parliament earlier that month. A ruling by the Constitutional Court on 1 December 2005 had imposed a deadline of 1 December 2006 to make same-sex marriage legal. South Africa became the fifth country, and the first in Africa, to legalize same-sex marriage under the Civil Union Act.
Laws pertaining to equality are constantly challenged and changed in accordance with the constitution, however completed equality is yet to be achieved as a lot of violence against LGBTI people continues. [2007]
background information and government attitudes:
By April 1996 every political party, with the exception of the minority African Christian Democratic Party, had stated their support for protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination in the constitution.
December 20, 1997: Delegates to the ANC's 50th National Conference in Mafeking voted to in support of the following resolution:"The ANC National Conference ...tasks its representatives in all levels of government to establish equality for lesbian and gay people in the following areas in particular: "EMPLOYMENT -- Equal rights for all workers, including lesbian and gay workers in both the private and public sectors; The recognition of same sex relationships for worker benefits (e.g. housing, medical aid and bereavement leave). ...
"FAMILY RIGHTS -- Custody and access, maintenance, immigration and adoption rights for lesbian and gay persons and the recognition of lesbian and gay families; Establishing the equal right to marry for people of the same sex.
"YOUTH -- The appropriate inclusion of lesbian and gay youth in all youth programmes, policy and law; The protection of lesbian and gay youth from discrimination at home, at school, on the streets and in the media; Equalising the age of consent; Running programmes to counter anti-gay prejudice and inclusive sexuality education programmes for all scholars." (RW Quote/Unquote 1/1/98)
International actions: 1995: At preparatory meeting for UN World Conference on Women in New York, proposed inclusion of words "sexual orientation" in paragraph addressing discrimination. (DS)9/1995:
At UN 4th Conference on Women in Beijing supported (unsuccessful) proposal for inclusion of references to "sexual orientation" in the draft "Platform for Action"
While the constitution offers many protections to lesbian and gay people the government have consistently opposed any changes to laws that would give same sex couples and lesbian and gay people equality. In all cases thus far challenges that have reached the constitutional court have been been successful. [2002]
South Africa abstained from voting on ILGA's consultative status at the UN in January 2002.
