, the Love Not Hate programme. It officially kicked off its services at the beginning of March. Services offered include support and advocacy services to the LGBTI community as well as victim support for survivors of hate crimes.
Maodi-Swartz says the organisation identified the need to extend the services for hate crime survivors and that “this problem would be better solved by directly assisting the client … because it can be quite complicated for a lay person to go through all those legal processes”. The biggest number of the centre’s cases are requests for assistance for LGBTI asylum seekers and sexual violations based on sexual orientation and discrimination in the workplace. “We assist survivors, from the initial point of reporting the violation to monitoring the court procedure, and ensuring that the victims receive [the] support they require.”Sanja Bornman of Lawyers for Human Rights says: “The need for legal advice and assistance remains huge.
Maodi-Swartz says: “To be able to assist an LGBTI person and inform them that ... the supreme Constitution of our country protects them and can be used to get justice — without any financial cost in some instances — is truly empowering.”Carl Collison is the Other Foundation’s Rainbow Fellow at the Mail & Guardian.

This idiot is not aware that by so doing, he will have to refute the allegations against him in court. This will be his trail indirectly because if he loses his lawsuit then it means that the allegations are true and that should make it easier for NPA to nail him. Bring it on! Uyasabisa
