South Africa has declared its abstention from the adoption of the African Charter on Family, Sovereignty and Values at the 4th Inter-Parliamentary Conference in Accra.
The delegation says the Charter’s definition of marriage as solely between a man and a woman is inconsistent with its Constitution and international legal principles.
The position was announced by delegation head Zandile Majozi during deliberations.

Witchcraft accusations should be a thing of fiction, but they’re happening right now. In Ghana, hundreds of women are accused of witchcraft and struggling to survive.
Together we can help end this, and pass the Anti-Witchcraft Bill into law.
