🚨 BREAKING

Following consultation led by The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DoJ & CD) Deputy Minister Andries Nel, government has confirmed that s*x work decriminalisation does not require a new regulatory framework.

Departments are aligned that existing laws already provide for most areas of regulation, with only minor amendments needed.

This affirms what s*x workers have long said: s*x work can be governed within existing legal and labour systems — like any other work.

The process is moving forward. The Bill is being drafted.

Now, we need action.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has called out the use of homophobic slurs and said that they should be treated with the same level of severity as racism.

The football star’s comments come in the wake of a confrontation on the pitch in a Real Madrid-Benfica match in Lisbon last week. Real’s Vinícius Júnior scored a goal and then was approached by Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni, who pulled his jersey up over his mouth as he spoke to Júnior.

Júnior reported the incident to the referee, with his teammate Kylian Mbappé later alleging that he had heard Prestianni use a racial slur multiple times. Prestianni denied the allegations, and UEFA suspended him for one match pending investigation.
