While Ndlovu originally sued the church for R5 million, Van Rooyen found she had not put up enough evidence to substantiate a claim of that amount.

The Equality Court sitting in Ga-Rankuwa this week awarded Karabo Ndlovu, who has given her consent to being identified, R600 000 in damages. Then, when the case came before the court, the church did not arrive for proceedings. Magistrate Ryan van Rooyen, who made the award, made clear his feelings about Ndlovu’s case in this week’s judgment.
He cited previous awards made in comparable cases and pointed out that only in one had the sum exceeded R1 million.
