Tsvangirai is not a man of his word!

He should have stuck to his religious beliefs and slammed homosexuals in the BBC interview. He just U-turned and decided that gay rights are human rights. I do not believe a word he is saying. It is another stunt he wants to pull just before the elections. I do not blame the gay lobby groups in Zimbabwe who have welcomed his new stance on basic human rights for gay people in that country. When the situation is so desperate, just like in Zim, you can only accept any breathe of fresh air that comes your way.

But I urge everybody to welcome Morgan Tsvangirai's new stance on homosexuality with caution. If he is ever propelled to the seat of power in Zimbabwe this might just change. If it does not change, gay and lesbian People may not even be a priority for his government. I still believe that current president of South Africa is homophobic. Despite his sincere apology. He was about to become a president of a country that allowed same-sex marriages. There was so much to lose. He was pressured to apologise.

Malawi jailed two gay men. Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga were facing imprisonment for loving each other. None of the African leaders who believe in human rights for all condemned this ridiculous conviction. It took Ban Ki-Moon to get those two human beings to be released and their conviction and sentence overturned. I believe in the sovereignty of our neighbouring countries. But any true advocate of human rights should always be ready to defend his cause.

And so I don't believe Tsvangirai is a man of his word! Finish and Klaar!
