Minister Orders Eviction Of Gays From Communities

A Zimbabwean minister has ordered traditional leaders to seize land belonging to homosexuals and expel them from their communities.

Local Government minister Ignatius Chombo, who belongs to President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party, said homosexuality was a “foreign value.”

“The chiefs are there to protect and promote our cultural values and those who support same sex marriages must be banished from the communities and dispossessed of their land,” he told a traditional ceremony at the weekend.

“What kind of madness is this that when we have beautiful women in our country some people want to marry other men?”
