A Christian student in South Africa, who was expelled from her university’s student council for disagreeing with gay marriage on Facebook, was reinstated as vice-president in early August.

Zizipho Pae was voted off the University of Cape Town’s Student Representative Council (SRC) for her reaction to the US Supreme Court’s decision to redefine marriage. On her personal Facebook page, she said: ‘We are institutionalising and normalising sin! Sin. May God have mercy on us.’ Her office was vandalised, homosexual pornography was posted on her Facebook page and she received threats.

Vice-Chancellor Max Price wrote to Pae to say that the decision to expel her was invalid, following an investigation and after he received legal advice.
