Steve Hofmeyr has found himself in hot water worth a R500 000 fine with the South African Human Rights Commission, following its investigation into the singer's comments about Disney's move to LGBTIQ+ inclusivity.
The video, which went out on 1 April and has since been deleted, appears to see Hofmeyr imply that the LGBTQI+ inclusion for characters was akin to bestiality, the SAHRC’s official statement on the matter expresses.
The English translation reads: “Where my generation learned to talk to mice ducks and dogs, our children are going to be taught how to have sex with mice, ducks and dogs.” Additionally, the Commission assessed the comments as apparent to hindering Disney’s moves towards further inclusivity, which may be in contravention of Section 11 of the Equality Act, as per Dr Carter.
