Zim s Cape Town Consulate Besieged As Protesters Demand Gay Rights

GroundUp AN official at the Zimbabwe Consulate in Cape Town, who would not give his name, refused to sign a memorandum calling for gay rights that was delivered by about 20 people. They had marched from Keizersgracht Street to the consulate in Kyper Street on Monday. The official demanded the police keep the media out, that no photographs be taken, and only three representatives of the protest be allowed through the gate to deliver their petition. Police complied and stopped journalists from filming on the premises. Organiser of the march for gay rights in Zimbabwe, Shingirai Musekiwa, said, “We have handed over the petition to an unknown man who chose to discriminate against us. He has refused to tell his name and sign the petition … Zimbabwe calls itself an independent country and is turning 41 on 18 April, but still … sees gays and lesbians as animals.”

Zimbabwean couple demand gay rights in homeland

Shingirai Musekiwa and Elton Chibhebhe fled Zimbabwe to come to South Africa because they are gay. Now based in Langa, the activist couple is fighting for the human rights of Zimbabwean homosexuals and the repeal of section 73 of the Zimbabwean Constitution which criminalises homosexuality. They’ve dubbed their movement Zimbabwe LGBTQ+ Crusader and say they have had interest from about 200 people. “We are demanding that the section of the Zimbabwean Constitution that criminalise gay people be abolished. It doesn’t allow us to be who we are and to love one another,” says Chibhebhe. Musekiwa grew up in Harare and came to South Africa in 2012 after he was disowned by his preacher uncle who raised him, he says. His parents died when he was young.
