By James Gwati-A Zimbabwe gay couple which is now based in South Africa has challenged the President Emmerson Mnanagwa’s administration to legalise gay marriages.

The couple, Shingirai Musekiwa and Elton Chibhebhe who are now living in Langa, South Africa said Harare, should repeal of section 73 of the Zimbabwean Constitution which criminalises homosexuality.

The two have since dubbed their movement Zimbabwe LGBTQ+ Crusader and said 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,” said the couple through their Facebook account.

The country’s constitution criminalizes gay activities, and does not recognize gay marriages.
