Geskiedenis word op 7 Desember in Worcester gemaak wanneer di\u00e9 dorp vir die eerste keer in sy bestaan gasheer vir die alombekende Pride-optog gaan speel.<\/p>\n

Lolitha van der Westhuizen (29), Worcester se eerste trans-vrou, s\u00ea vir baie LGBTQIA+-individue wat in landelike gebiede en klein dorpe woon, word die uitdaging om outentiek hulself te wees vererger deur marginalisering of die vrees vir geweld en diskriminasie.<\/p>\n

Van der Westhuizen s\u00ea Jackye Majawie, stigter van Majawie Safe Space, is vasbeslote om daardie narratief te verander.<\/p>\n

Majawie Safe Space is \u2019n organisasie sonder winsbejag in Delft, Suid-Afrika, wat veg vir die regte van die LGBTQIA+-gemeenskap.<\/p>\n

Van der Westhuizen s\u00ea die Pride-optog is inklusief en almal is welkom om deel daarvan te wees.<\/p>\n

Sy s\u00ea deur middel van die Pride-optog wil Majawie Safe Space die gemeenskap bemagtig met inligting oor die LGBTQIA+-gemeenskap, onder meer oor die uitdagings wat hulle daagliks moet trotseer.<\/p>\n

Volgens haar wil Majawie Safe Space deur middel van die Pride-optog ook ondersteuning bied aan diegene wat gereeld aan mishandeling onderwerp of blootgestel word.<\/p>\n

Van der Westhuizen s\u00ea met betrekking tot die beoogde Pride-optog kry hulle ongelooflik baie ondersteuning uit die Worcester-gemeenskap.<\/p>\n

Volgens haar kry sy baie oproepe van mense wat meer oor die Pride-optog op 7 Desember wil uitvind.<\/p>\n

\u201cPride beteken nie ons gaan \u2019n geveg opsit nie. Dis \u2019n friendly pride<\/i>,\u201d s\u00ea Van der Westhuizen. <\/p>\n

Van die eregaste sluit in Miss Gigi, BB Vahlour, Miss Kendall Airho, Miss DD Mentor, Miss Modern Maharaj, Miss Lundon von Diamond en natuurlik Miss Queen Lolitha.<\/p>\n

Volgens Van der Westhuizen begin die optog stiptelik om 10:00 van die Bolandpark-stadion in Fairbairnstraat. Dit sal deur Hoogstraat gelei word tot by die Worcester-polisiekantoor in Adderleystraat. <\/p>\n

Van daar beweeg die groep terug na Bolandpark-stadion vir \u2019n geselligheid wat tot 18:00 sal duur. <\/p>\n

Almal is welkom en toegang is gratis. <\/p>\n

Streng sekuriteit sal vir die duur van die dag se verrigtinge geld. <\/p>\n

Van der Westhuizen s\u00ea tydens die Pride-optog wil sy ook haar \u201cnuwe self\u201d in die openbaar bekendstel. <\/p>\n

Vermaaklikheidskunstenaars wat in die stadion gaan optree, sluit onder meer DJ Clint en 3 Fingers in. Plaaslike kunstenaars word ook genooi om hul sangtalent by die geselligheid te kom tentoonstel.<\/p>\n

Voorts word klein sake-ondernemings genooi om stalletjies by die stadion op te rig teen R150 per stalletjie.<\/p>\n

Volgens Van der Westhuizen soek hulle nog borge wat onder meer gebottelde water en sap sal kan voorsien. <\/p>\n
