The South African Pagan Rights Alliance was designated as a religious organisation in terms of section 5 (1) and (2) of the Civil Union Act (Act 17 of 2006), in February 2008.

 

This Alliance, its members, and duly appointed marriage officers, herewith affirm support for the repeal of section 6 of Act 17.

 

We hold that section 6 is inconsistent with sections 9 and 10 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.

 

 

Kind Regards

 

Mr. Gary Thomas Leff

Director: South African Pagan Rights Alliance
