“We removed anything to do with homosexuals. We were all agreed that Zimbabwe is not a country that makes friends with gays.”
Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana, co-chair of the Constitution Select Committee that was charged with drafting a new constitution for Zimbabwe, on why the document leaves out – and criminalizes – homosexuality. Co-chair Edward Mkhosi said, “Homosexuality is a foreign concept. Our culture, our tradition and our increasingly Christian outlook do not permit us to legalise homosexuality and same-sex marriages.” (Zimbabwe Mail)
