We, at Cape Town Pride, always strive for inclusivity. Our organizing committee is a true representation of the population mix of Cape Town. We believe in accessibility through outreach with stakeholders in communities through transportation and support to get to Cape Town Pride. Cape Town Pride consists of more than 30 events that cater to the needs of every sector of the community and in various locations to highlight the wants and needs of those communities. The festival is only one part of a multifaceted visibility event. We are involved with Ikasi Pride which services communities most in need of visibility and as such moves locations every year, said Matthew. In his video, the idols SA judge spoke specifically about Johannesburg and Cape Town Pride marches, saying they appear to be inclusive when, in reality, they are not inclusive at all. I have always had an issue with Yoberg Pride and Cape Town Pride. I've always had an issue because I find it not to be inclusive at all. From the outside, it looks inclusive because when we march there are blacks, Indians, and whites but deep down there isn't inclusivity, said Zomiza. You look at the committees that run Pride, you look at the locations that host Pride, they are where it will be suitable for white queer people to be comfortable. Some Gaga said he has never ever heard of a right march that catered for all citizens in the country, especially in townships where the communities are predominantly black.
