Social Development Minister,
Bathabile Dlamini, says government is concerned about an increase in targeted
intimidation, violence and hate crimes against lesbians, gay, bisexual and
trans-gendered people.
Dlamini has urged communities to
adopt a zero tolerance against such crimes and that perpetrators must be
reported to law enforcement agencies.
She was speaking in Cape
Town at the State of the World Population 2012
Report.
Dlamini added that government alone
cannot change discriminatory attitudes and norms on sex and sexuality.
