⚖️ Access Chapter 2 Monitors Sexual Offences Case at Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court

Today, Access Chapter 2 monitored a sexual offences case involving a young girl who was r***d at the Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court. The matter remains at the trial stage, with the State continuing to lead evidence.

During today’s proceedings, Dr Omar Faziel Habib, a psychiatrist, took the stand as a State expert witness and provided evidence relating to the psychological assessment and impact of the matter on the young complainant.

The matter was part-heard and postponed to 29 September 2026, when the complainant’s mother is expected to take the stand and give evidence.

Access Chapter 2 will continue to monitor the proceedings and document key developments, while advocating for the survivor’s rights, dignity, safety and best interests throughout the legal process.

Justice must be pursued with dignity, accountability and care.

Access Chapter 2 (AC2) convened an Advanced Round-Table on SOGIESC Awareness and Human Sexuality Competency with officials from the National Department of Home Affairs.

Held at Protea Hotel Menlyn, Pretoria, the round-table provided a platform for open dialogue, knowledge-sharing and practical engagement on SOGIESC and human sexuality, with a focus on strengthening inclusive, rights-based and responsive public services.

The discussion engaged key legal and human rights issues affecting LGBTIQ+ persons within the Home Affairs context, including asylum and refugee-related matters, gender marker and identity documentation, and barriers experienced by LGBTIQ+ persons when accessing government services.
