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.

History would never forget that while floods happened, Ghana’s parliament hosted homophobes from all over the world in the name of family values while families are drowning.
A city flooding after heavy rain is one thing. A capital city flooding year after year for generations is a failure.
What bothers me isn’t the rain. It’s how we’ve normalized the consequences. A child growing up today can expect the same flooding problems their parents and grandparents experienced. Ghana is failing us.
On the anniversary of June 3, and while all this is happening, the people elected to fix this decide to vacate seat for a conference on violating more human rights.
Backwards, and the sort of behavior we’ve made acceptable from leaders around here
