The primary human rights watchdog in Africa recently made a decision that departed from its existing practice. The African Commission of Human and Peoples’ Rights, an independent expert body within the African Union (AU) framework, used sexual or gender identity as the reason it rejected applications for observer status from three non-governmental organisations (NGOs).

The commission said that “sexual orientation” was not an “expressly recognised right” in the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. It also said that protecting and promoting sexual and gender minority rights was “contrary to the virtues of African values”.

The decision casts a shadow over the commission’s commitment to advancing the rights of all Africans. It also seriously erodes its independence from AU states.

One of the commission’s competences is to grant observer status to NGOs. This entitles an NGO to participate in the commission’s public sessions, and make statements drawing attention to the violation of the rights of the most vulnerable, including sexual and gender minorities.

Imagine a gender equal world; world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity.

Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to drive gender parity.

6 Reasons why a deposit is important when buying property

Buying a home is one of the best long-term investments most people will ever make. However, taking the first step to make a purchase can sometimes be daunting and even intimidating, more so now with the current unprecedented times we live in.

FNB Home Finance Growth Head Mfundo Mabaso, says as a first-time home buyer, the most important thing to consider is whether or not clients can afford to take this big step.

“While it is still possible for a bank to grant clients a 100% home loan which does not require a deposit, we strongly encourage our first-time home buyers to consider putting down a minimum deposit of at least 10% of the value of the property to ensure that their home loan repayments are reduced and more manageable.”
