Thabo Fuma v The Commander, Lesotho Defence Force and Others (CONST 8 of 2011) [2013] LSHC 68 (10 October 2013)
The applicant's discharge from the Lesotho Defence Force was unconstitutional as it violated his rights to equality and freedom from discrimination under Sections 18 and 19 of the Constitution. The decision was made without affording him a fair hearing, and he was treated differently from other similarly disabled soldiers, with the only reasonable conclusion being that the discrimination was based on his HIV status. The respondents failed to justify the differential treatment or to provide a scientific basis for the medical decision. The applicant's right to human dignity was also infringed.
