💨 Abstract

Gayton McKenzie, South Africa's Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, has backed the European Court of Human Rights' ruling that Caster Semenya was denied a fair hearing in her case against World Athletics' eligibility rules. The ruling, though not overturning the rules, affirms Semenya’s rights and opens new legal paths. South Africa has supported Semenya's legal battle, launching campaigns and seeking international solidarity, and will continue to pursue justice through all available channels.
