[4/4]These comments happened today after @Treasury was called out by #PeoplesBudget 4 ZERO allocations & indicators 4 the LGBTQI+ community in the entire Adjusted Estimates of National Expenditure of the #MTBPS2021!
NO to institutionalised #Homophobia #Queerphobia #Transphobia!
[3/4] "Now on LGQBT [sic]... it would be reasonable 2 say, Chairperson, that you & others, coming from rural areas of this country, you know more than me, how difficult it is. In theory, yes, 'they' recognise 'gay rights' but we have to understand that many come from rural areas"
[2/4] "... We don't have the broader culture of an industrialized nation, we are "a developing country, an African country"
[see @ approx 1:49:00 and 1:50:00 in the video link]
[1/4] It is not "rural" or "African" people that are homophobic! It is our own State and Treasury!
@TreasuryRSA/ Carrim:"Our country is very advanced, in my view... of course, it's true, 'out there' our people are not attuned to it"...

Powerful words by Teboho, @POWA_ZA!
If @CyrilRamaphosa says that GBV is a second pandemic, why hasn’t he committed the same resources as #COVID19?
We need funds for the NSP on GBV now! @PresidencyZA @TreasuryRSA
