He said the LGBTQIA+ community also had their spotlight within their communities.

“We are here to showcase that you can love whoever you want to love and it does not matter who you are and what colour you are.

“We are all human beings, and we are trying to motivate people to be who they want to be,” said Smith.

He said the reason for different types of flags and balloons in colours was to represent the LGBTQ+ flag.

“There is a multi-colored, multi-cultural and multi-racial broad aspect within the community. We are here to make a difference in South Africa even if it’s one day in a year,” said Smith.
