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."

Good for you President Mugabe is definitely a leader. We in Africa will not tolerate the likes of such behavior. It is a threat to the human family, and a slap in the face of God's laws. AFRICA WILL NEVER, EVER ACCEPT GAYS AND LESBIANS AS AN ACCECPTABLE PRACTICE!! Tell the British and to David Cameron that we Africans do not need them, or their aid. God is all we need! "It becomes worse and Satanic when you get a Prime Minister like Cameron saying countries that want British aid should accept homosexuality." Tell them to keep their aid. Africa will help itself. We will not be whores to white people because we are the children of God. Turn away from the white man's wicked ways Africa! Do not submit to their uncivilized, degrading and filthy practices! We need more Mugabes in Africa!
The prime minister of Britain is a slut. He is a whore.
The nerve of these white trashy, low-life creatures comin to our continent and bringing their god-fosaken rituals to us. I wish they would all burn in hell for trying to do this to Africa. No wonder that they are hated and dispised. Those Satanic demons - they are certainly the devils off-spring
The truth of the matter is that Gays and lesbian have been around for a very long time..This goes back even in biblical times. Given the problem of AIDS/HIV in Zimbabwe by gay men who are married to women..it would make more sense to let Gay/lesbians come out of the closet rather than punish them.
You cannot force gays to be straight, except if you want to be a "Nazi"
On this one I also applaud His Excellency The Life President of the Republic of Zimbabwe for his brave statement. He has shown true leadership as the custodian of the "African culture". His statesmanship is on the line here so he should translate his pious words into action. Now I want to see his words put into action by "severely punishing" Jonathan Moyo, a well known ZANU PF homosexual who up to now is unpunished. After Moyo's punishment I will name other Zimbabwean ZANU PF poofters who deserve severe punishments. This is a party of homosexuals after all. I will wait patiently as those pious words are put into action. Pamberi!!
