After such an incredible success in 2014, on the 28th of November 2015, over 4000 people are expected to descend upon the city of Johannesburg to embrace their inner pride and participate in a colourful political and commercial celebration of a unique and diverse community of people that are pioneering in every sphere of society and have gained in reshaping public perception.

Africa will gather at its economic hub for the inaugural Mzansi Pride, to also celebrate life in unity and challenge the world as we have come to know it and curb negative perceptions about LGBTI communities in Africa.

“The momentum towards equality is exciting. And not just for the LGBTI community – for everyone. People who come to these festivals find a huge celebration of happiness that’s about including everyone, and about love, something all humans share. We’re all part of the rainbow,”says Yaya Mavundla, Event Organiser/Founder of Mzansi Pride.

Mzansi Pride aims to curb Xenophobia, discrimination, elimination of class, shed more light on stereotyping & celebrating uniqueness.
