One of President Robert Mugabe’s chief journalists Robert Mukondiwa who was reportedly caught in the act of gay intimacy while on a trip with the president has been spared disciplinary action by the president.
Mukondiwa has continued to write and edit for state media newspapers The Herald and the H Metro despite crossing Mugabe’s code of ethical of conduct in August when he was caught in the act of gay intimacy with a Namibian man while on a trip with Mugabe in the Southern African country.
Robert Mugabe who in recent years has said gay people are worse than dogs was expected to have disciplined Mukondiwa.
When asked by a friend if he was going anywhere after the incident, Mukondiwa said he was not going anywhere: ”Hapana kwandiri kuenda ini. Handiende zvachose. I live forever shamwari,” he said.
The journalist at one point was suspended for similar acts only to be reinstated and then subsequently promoted.
This is not the first time the journalist has been caught red handed: sometime in March last year he was caught with a fellow journalist engaging in homosexual act in the newsroom at the Herald house.
The two were caught having sex by security guards who had come to investigate strange noises coming from the newsroom at a time journalists had knocked off duty.
Sources said few male and female journalists at Zimpapers Harare branch are openly gay and some of them have also participated in gay and lesbian parades in South Africa and Europe.
The Zimpapers journalist this time had accompanied President Robert Mugabe during a visit to Namibia to attend a meeting of former liberation movements in Southern Africa.
The case had not been heard so far at the time of writing as it had been overshadowed by the death of retired General Solomon Mujuru who died in a fire blaze.
It was reported that Mugabe who wields a zero intolerance to homosexually was humiliated by the incident.(ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

Shame, kukundwa nemapete nenhunzi chaidzo
munomuvenga mukondiwa nokuti munotya kufumurwa naye mu h metro.problem yenyu hamudi kuona munhu agona achizviitira mari yake ndosaka muchivenga vose vana kasukuwere. Imi zvamunoita zvenhando makambovhunzwa naani ndosaka muri marombe kuswerera nyaya dzenhando.nxa.
Whilist it may sound idiotic to talk about mukondiwa and his homosexuality.Recently Kunonga and supporters demonstrated against Dr Rowan Martins when in their leadership are heavy with the homos. John Nkomo, Jonathan,Kasukuwere and many others. It only demonstrates how hypocritical these people are. Consider also the WeakiLeaks. Bunch of liars.puu..
indeed who are we to judge? one sin is as good as any. whether hu homo, stealing, corruption, lying, adultery, cheating etc munenge makangofanana. or rather tinenge takangofanana coz i’ not holy myself and neither are all you cats above.tolerance is key.
I agree with u Tania. The moment u descriminate a gay u r no better than white people who descriminate us black people. Think about it. We are all sinners. Who are u to JUDGE???
@ Chrises Mupanduki. Ini rangu bhaibhiri rinoti Jesu aka sukwa makumbo nehure.Kana Jesu chaiye aidya nemahure koisu tinotadza nesei.We should not judge. Yes people of Sodom we destroyed because they were sinners. In the bible it’s not stated that they were homosexuals. It’s only written that they were sinners. Yo bible might be a modified version rakanyorwa nevanhu vakavenga mahomo. God is for everyone including sinners. As a matter of fact we are all sinners. You are also not perfect. Am not forcing you to become friends with gays, if you do not want anything to do with gays I respect it. But vanhu havafanire kuvatuka. Vanhu sesu. Vana vamwari. May the lord bless everyonewho is discriminated for whatever reason.
iwe tania ibhaibheri ripiko raunoverenga iwe, isu redu rinoti sodom and gomora dzakaparadzwa because of homosex, thats y annual sex ichinzi sodomy chero mombe kana imbwa chaiyo wakamboiona dzichikwirana nzombe dzega, ichurch ipiko yaunopinda ndimi masatanists imimi
Shame on us Zimbabweans. You waste your time going to church, muchiti mwari mwari yet you can’t do the simplest thing, just accepting and tolerating gays. They are people just like us. Inga kuchechi zvininonzvi ida mumwe wako sekuda kwauno zviita. Gays are also sons of God. Moreover I don’t believe that Robert did that in a hotel.Perhaps they are some people who are jealous of his success. Imi munongoti magays this and that day vana venyu vakaita magay. What goings around comes around.
The editor or reporter clearly says says that it was largely expected that Cde Mugabe would weild an axe on Robert Mukondiwa, what a shame! This level of thinking shows how shallow minded the mdc and its followers are. President Mugabe cannot demean himself by being a human resources manager of zimpapers. Of cause, he acted decisively when he got wind of such acts being done by the late Cde Canaan Banana, he did not hesitate to take action.
ho said the journalist should be fired?
of course the president left him off without penalty
He’s probably the presidents boyfriend
In most countries the worst of the worst who hate gays are secretly gay themselves.
But I goes beyond gay sex. Its really rape of the journalists arse for the pleasure of the president. its all about control and power.
Sex is just the club to claim the power
imi namatai mose muafrica
gushungo is also gay, what do you want him do about the situation. The cat wil be out of the bag. kujeri kwaakagara gumi remakore aipona nei? aitonama shure. i am reliably told guys nevaainamana nawo
pamufanakiso wengochani iyi i agree with Tete iri kusemesa semabasa ayo, ndivo vanozoita mombe wanzwa nekumanyowa….puuuuuuh!
Tony Toilet (above) who said the journalist should be fired? Unopenga here iwe? Dhuze uri Ngochani futi iwe, nxa! Mugabe is a civil servant and the boy also lives on public money – rates from tv licence payers. These people are accountable to the public and they must assure us they are not abusing privilages, money, and their offices to fulfil their obsessive vices. I have a feeling you are the guy Mukondiwa was caught with, s’hit on you!
So you want Mugabe to hire and fire journalists? This is an idiotic story!
Dzimai Moto why do you use the word ALSO? Asi unoda kurohwa neshamhu iwe? ZANU is the only political organisation that is skewed in every way from top right, and centre there is every form of corruption and mishape eveyr where
There was Mweni Tafara, a ZANU PF man who used to say MDC is funded by gays. Any comment Mweni Tafara?
ZANU PF is also not straight!
Iwe BRUCE kana kuti Brutus you can say all you like, undituke uite seyi sa BLA MIKi na CHOYA but apa pengochani kana, ndatsika madziro.Ngochani hatidi zvachose.Ndizvozvimwe zvakandiita kuti ndibve kuHINGIRANDI. Kana BHIGI hairdresser pandakangoona kuti ingochani handina kuzombodzokera kushopu kwake–iye mupenyu nanhasi here? So
Tete ava vaneShanje zveshuwa, ah nxa!
CHANDO KUPISA what comment do you want the editors to get this boy was caught RED HANDED in the act right in the newsroom (this is public certified information), and just a few days after that he was swiftly promoted and began to enjoy trips with the president to foreign countries one of which he did it again. Ndosaka uchinzi Chando Idiot mhani, siya vanhu ava vaite basa ravo mhani!
Ngochani kwete taramba, especially those who are trying to force us to accept this unnatural act.ZIMEYE bvisayi pikichayemunhu uyu mhani. Nxa!! So?
Mr Editor your headline is very misleading one would expect to see The President’s comments but you have only told us what this gay said,suppose the President is still deciding on what to do with him without necessarily violating the labour laws?
Gay is a cover name for a homosexual male who usually commits acts of sodomy with another male.
The word ‘gay’ obviously gives respectability but in a court of law, the words ‘homosexual’ ‘sodomy’ and ‘buggery’ are still used.
Chabvondoka chapinza maPonga eZanu musango, icho!
I meant to say “Hapana chaanoitwa as long as Professor NGOCHANI anomiririra bato rema Homosexuals emuZanu PF aripo.
Gushunga vanomuda nekumuteerera chero zvadini.”
Hapana chaanoitwa as long as Professor Ngachani anomiririra bato rema Homosexuals emuZanu PF aripo.
Gushunga vanomuda nekumuteerera chero zvadini.
Iye Gushungo wacho ane ma night-mares from prison ekuiswa kumanyowa kwake, ndosaka akavenga mangochani kudai, kwete kuti his hatred is bsed on good and evil, BUT on prison nightmares.
Moreover maministers ake ari gay – Kasukuwere, J Nkomo, Jono Moyo, to name a few!
Saka Gushungo vanongo paumba chete about Gays -no action. Its a SHAME!!!
