The investigation
by the Commission for Gender Equality on the so-called maiden bursary has been
found to be unconstitutional, and must be discontinued.
The commission probed the initiative which was
introduced by the uThukela municipality.
The bursary was issued to young girls on the basis of
virginity.
The Commission has argued that this violates the right
to equality, dignity and privacy.
However, those who have already been awarded the
bursaries were asked to retain them.
