South Africa

Cape Town – The University of Cape Town and its Vice-Chancellor, Mamokgethi Phakeng, are under fire.

They hosted an open lecture titled ‘What does science say about LGBTQI+’.

The Gender Diversity Coalition claims urologist, Dr Kgomotso Mathabe, said being born intersex is potentially life-threatening.

Mathabe further went on to say it requires medical correction.

The coalition says the comments amount to misinformation and cause harm to these people and their families.
