Gays Will Be Severely Punished, Says President
The Herald ^ | Thursday, 24 November 2011

Posted on 11/24/2011 2:30:20 PM PST by nickcarraway

PRESIDENT Mugabe yesterday said homosexuals and lesbians will be punished severely for their behaviour which is inconsistent with African and Christian values.

He made the remarks at the launch of the Tongogara Community Share Ownership Tru-st at Unki Mine. Zimbabweans told Copac during the outreach programme that they want homosexuality outlawed.

Said the President: "Do not get tempted into that (homosexuality). You are young people. Mukaenda ikoko we will punish you severely."

He took a swipe at recent utterances by British Prime Minister David Cameron that London will not aid countries that do not respect gay rights.

Mr Cameron said his government had engaged a number of African countries to influence them to embrace the practice.

"It becomes worse and Satanic when you get a Prime Minister like Cameron saying countries that want British aid should accept homosexuality.

"To come with that diabolical suggestion to our people is a stupid offer," President Mugabe said.

He added: "Chambopinda mumisoro yevarungu chii? Kuti vari kutadza zvinoitwa nenhunzi nemapete ese? Izvi hazvipo patsika dzedu kana yechiKristo.

Actually, IF Mugabe’s sincere about this....(even though, yes, I agree, he’s a monster) the dictator is just showing a normal, typical, African view on sexual perversion—and the perverts that promote it.

Just a generation ago—perhaps without the severe punishment angle—Americans and Europeans—along with all civilized people—felt the same way.

I believe the Soviets and Communist Chinese always had (and Russian and E. Europeans, & Chinese still do?) a similar, almost Puritanical, attitude toward sexual morality and perversion... Sensuality and moral degradation was always something they criticized the West for (whether deserved or not...in the 1950s and before).

People are right though, this doesn’t make Mugabe any less of a truly evil, murderous man.

"It is condemned by nature. It is condemned by insects and that is why I have said they are worse than pigs and dogs."

As others have commented, Hitler was evil. But not everything he wanted was evil. He wanted the trains to run on time and that's a good thing. The same thing can be said of Mugabe. He's evil, but some things are so obviously true, not even an evil man can get them wrong.

In all fairness, they have a huge AIDS problem to the point it is a survival issue.

The USA is the only place where homosexuals are the primary vector of HIV/AIDS. Seriously. Everywhere else it's primarily spread as a heterosexual venereal disease, and in some places in Africa (I don't know whether under Mugabe's watch -- if it is and he takes no notice, he's a specially big hypocrite) there are hideous practices such as the superstitious belief that sex with an infant will rid an adult of AIDS.

He apologized for that and retracted what he said the next day.

Odd that this story would begin circulating in tandem with the Penn State issue of the homosexual rape of little boys. Even Mugabe sometimes stumbles on doing what is right.

Do you have any reference to back that?

Or “Death by Ooga Booga”...

Back at the source article most of the comments from Zimbabweans agree that this stuff oughtn’t to be allowed to flaunt itself in Zimbabwe, with various degrees of vehemence. Zimbabwe’s own prime minister appears to be bucking Mugabe on this issue (no idea whether he’s a gay), which is a nervy stance since Mugabe could easily have him offed.

But weirdly, the comments seem to shift between this Swahili and English with little rhyme or reason. I wonder if their babelfish has hiccups.

As much as I despise Robert Mugabe, I agree with him on this one.

Bobby Mugabe of Zimbabwe, thanks nickcarraway. What we really need is a graphic of Ian Smith with the “Miss Me Yet?” caption.

I wonder what Mugabe thought of former President Canaan Banana. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaan_Banana

“the dictator is just showing a normal, typical, African view on sexual perversion”

Which they practice with reckless abandon. Hence the AIDS problem

“As much as I despise Robert Mugabe, I agree with him on this one.”

Jesus condemned divorce more forcefully. If we are going that route, there’s where we need to severely punish people.

You sure about that? From everything I’ve read, chances of a male catching HIV through heterosexual activity are extremely slim. Do they have a different strain out there or something?
