Around 500 LGBTI people marched through the streets of Hillbrow and Braamfontein in Johannesburg on Saturday, demanding justice for all people.
The second People’s Pride was a festive political demonstration, filled with song, anger and moving performance pieces that spoke out against persecution, violence and exclusion.

I am glad that so many of all shades and hues seems to have enjoyed the day and benefited by it. I however do not want to attend an event that allows the anti- white capitalist posters as shown in your first picture.
Ditto!
I somewhat agree on this statement. I may be mistaken, but if this was pride in the traditional sense then the focus should have been LGBTQ related. Nonetheless – important that it was a success. As unfortunate as it may seem – the more graphic the visual – the greater the impact on the audience… Maybe we need more performances to become commercial/ available to the general public. It’s starting to feel like preaching to the choir…
I agree regarding the anti white capitalist poster. It made me feel unwelcome to just see the photo. As a result I will avoid attending in the future. I also saw a poster that says “black! Black! Black!” For me, I believe pride should not include racial connotations as it is an event for all meant to bring people closer.
