					<description><![CDATA[Letter to Foreign affairs.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Letter to Foreign affairs. Dear sirs</p>
<p>It has come to our attention that South Africa has not yet signed the <br />abovementioned UN Declaration.</p>
<p>In our Constitution, as I take it you know, the rights of homosexual (the <br />naming the Declaration states) or LGBTI (the preferred term) people are <br />protected and in according to legal principles, I am of the opinion that <br />South Africa is obliged to sign the Declaration.</p>
<p>The delay is quite baffling.</p>
<p>Your reply would be appreciated.</p>
<p>++++</p>
<p>You can write your own to:</p>
<p><a href="mailto:ntsalubaa@foreign.gov.za">ntsalubaa@foreign.gov.za</a> <ntsalubaa@foreign.gov.za>; <a href="mailto:mamoepar@foreign.gov.za">mamoepar@foreign.gov.za</a> <mamoepar@foreign.gov.za>; <a href="mailto:makhubelal@foreign.gov.za">makhubelal@foreign.gov.za</a> <makhubelal@foreign.gov.za>; <a href="mailto:info@icd.gov.za">info@icd.gov.za</a> <info@icd.gov.za>; <a href="mailto:pmongwe@icd.gov.za">pmongwe@icd.gov.za</a> <pmongwe@icd.gov.za>; <a href="mailto:dphiri@icd.gov.za">dphiri@icd.gov.za</a> <dphiri@icd.gov.za></p>

					<description><![CDATA[UN Declaration. After reading the news story below, I am compelled to seek your support.As a proud South African I know that our Rainbow Nation&#039;s Constitution includes amongst others, protections for sexual minorities. The thought that we are the first country in the world to have these kind of protections enshrined in our Constitution still makes my chest swell with pride as a South African. As a beacon of Equal Human Rights for ALL, South Africa should be the FIRST Nation to sign the UN deceleration on decriminalizing homosexuality and be part of the process to eradicate the stigmatization of the LGBTI community all over the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Human Rights must also include LGBTI Rights. People who form this group are human beings, every bit as much as heterosexuals, and therefore are entitled to the dignity and protection of such guarantees.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You must remember, the LGBTI community throughout the world are not seeking special treatment or consideration, only equality. Equality means sharing in all the rights and responsibilities such a guarantee encompasses. Therefore I urge you to apply pressure upon the South African government to be a positive example to other African nations and nations throughout the world. To deny people their Human Rights is an act of oppression and bigotry and a country such as South Africa, with its all encompassing Constitution, must be impelled to stand by its own legislation!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sincerely&lt;br&gt;]]></description>
