GAY DATG SOUTH AI

In South Ai, televisn shows have often been at the foreont of makg gays and lbians a ltle more visible and human the hom of lns of viewers. Jt like me, Rolanda’s character, Hannelie Kock, was very Aikaans but also que gay.

Before Hannelie and Sedika’s on-screen relatnship, another SABC 2 drama seri, 37 Honey Street, broke barriers for the gay muny when featured an on-screen kiss between Juliana Venter and Casey B. Wrg about the history of gay kiss on South Ain televisn, Cameron Modisane pots out the repercsns that a prison rape scene featured the send season of the tnal youth drama, Yizo Yizo, had: the scene set tongu waggg parliament, where a number of MPs lled for the programme to be banned due to the homosexual nature of the episo.

Yizo Yizo 3 elaborated on that theme, and will forever be the first prime-time reprentatn of a lovg relatnship – and a kiss – between two gay men, as more than 5 ln viewers watched the episo qutn on SABC 1 June 2004.

After 21 years, Isidgo still grac the screens of lol soapie buffs, and this seri has been stmental brgg gay characters to the livg rooms of s viewers. Sce then, Isidgo has featured a number of gay and bisexual characters, cludg Prada Naicker (Ashish Gangapersad), Dennis M (Ashley Dowds), Len Cooper (Chris Beasly), Pl McPherson (Carl Bk) and, more recently, the character Thabang, played by Pholoso Mohlala. Gay characters on popular lol TV shows seem to always rtart nversatns about homosexualy the ntext of a maturg rabow natn.

The backlash to Generatns’ cln of a black gay uple, Senzo (Thami Mngqolo) and Jason (Zolisa Xaluva) showed that the ia of two black men love still didn’t s easily wh viewers of South Ai’s most popular soap 2009. Zabalaza (2015) and Umlilo (2016) touched on lbian relatnships, while Igazi (2016) looked at a gay relatnship as pertas to a Xhosa royal fay’s nflict over the throne – the social media furore over Oros Mampofu’s character would prece downright outrage about Inxeba’s portrayal of gay affectn specific cultural ntexts a year later. Rercg tradnal ias about Aikaans-speakg viewers and their attus towards homosexualy, Aikaans soaps were a ltle more wary of upsettg viewers, would seem, and close to two s after first aired, 7 Laan did e que a r by featurg a same-sex kiss between mor characters Logan (Simon Tu) and Divan (Arnu Villiers) 2017.

Speakg to Sowetan about his character on Mzansi Magic’s iKhaya (2018), Sphamandla Dhludhlu emphasised the urgency of havg gay characters portrayed on the small screen. “I am jt an actor who is playg a gay character yet that alone has attracted some hate, so I n only image what gay people go through on a daily basis. “As an openly gay man, I’m fortunate to have the support of my fay and my fiancé, Somizi, but not all South Ain youth, pecially those growg up nservative and tradnal hoeholds, experience the same level of acceptance.

The history of homosexualy on lol televisn didn’t start wh Hannelie Kock, but did crack the closet door jt a ltle more open for me. I would only be totally fortable wh intifyg as a gay woman about a after Zero Tolerance aired, but the fact that Hannelie’s character existed was important to me as a teenager g to terms wh her sexualy. Even if gay characters on popular TV shows still draw the ire of some nservative viewers, the importance of their existence popular culture n never be overstated.

Not only is Mzansi the only untry on the Ain ntent to have legalised gay marriage, but the cisn to pass the Civil Unn Act 2006 ma jt the fifth the world to have enacted marriage equaly.
