THE month of October marks the vibrant celebrations of Pride Month 2025 in South Africa, organised by the esteemed Pride of Africa Foundation.
This year, the festivities centre on the evocative theme “Purely, Queerly, African”, which honours African queer identities while advocating for empowerment, visibility and community solidarity throughout the continent.
The celebrations leading up to the Johannesburg Pride March on Saturday, October 25, will include community dialogues, curated performances, and local art showcases. This event serves as the flagship of the month and stands out as one of the largest LGBTQ+ advocacy gatherings on the continent.
Kaye Ally, the founder and director of the Pride of Africa Foundation, tells the Saturday Star that this year’s Pride aims to unite thousands of participants, allies, and supporters from across South Africa, Africa, and the world.
This year’s theme is “Purely, Queerly, African”. What does that theme mean in the context of Johannesburg Pride 2025?
