NUDIST RESORT TOLD TO ADMIT BLACKS

A NUDIST resort in KwaZulu-Natal must admit blacks or face legal action by the South African Human Rights Commission, The Star newspaper reported. The commission has given Jane’s Jungle seven days to abide by the country’s constitution and admit blacks or face a lawsuit, it said. South African naturist pioneer Beau Brummel opened Jane’s Jungle, to which he acted as an adviser, at the weekend. Brummel told the commission that multiracial nudity had destroyed his resort at Warmbaths in the Northern Province. He said that “communal nakedness is taboo in black Africa.” – AFP
