ResumoOn 13 October 1990, the first South African Gay Pride parade was held in Johannesburg. On behalf of the African National Congress, Albie Sachs, at the time a member of the ANC's Constitutional committee, sent a message of support. "Many would like to see a new constitution in South Africa," he wrote, "[one] that guarantees members of the lesbian and gay community full protection against any form of discrimination" (Address). Sachs's message was dedicated to Cecil Williams, the man being driven by Nelson Mandela at the time of Mandela's arrest outside Howick in August 1962.
