The plaintiff, Johan Strydom, was employed by the Moreleta Park congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church (NGK) until his contract was terminated because he was in a same-sex relationship. This was found to be unfair discrimination that was unlawful under the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act. The church was ordered to pay R87,000 in damages and offer an unconditional apology.[1] The decision was criticised by some religious and political groups who claimed that it infringed on freedom of religion.[2] References1. ^{{cite news |title=Court rules in gay man's favour |url=http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Court-rules-in-gay-mans-favour-20080828 |date=28 August 2008 |publisher=News24 |agency=SAPA |accessdate=20 March 2014}} 2. ^{{cite news |title=Court's gay ruling upsets Christian bodies |url=http://mg.co.za/article/2008-08-29-courts-gay-ruling-upsets-christian-bodies |date=29 August 2008 |newspaper=Mail & Guardian |accessdate=20 March 2014}} External links
