Malawi to have referendum on homosexuality


  1. Chancy Namadzunda, AfricaNews reporter in Lilongwe, Malawi
    The wind of homosexuality refuses to die in Malawi. The newly formed Anti Gay Movement (AGM) said it will conduct a general referendum to give Malawians a chance to choose if they want it or not. AGM Interim Chair, Grandy Chikweza, said that the referendum follows the arrest of the gay couple and the increasing gays in the country.

    Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steve Monjeza got engaged in December 2009 in Malawi and were arrested afterwards.

    “Malawi is a country with the population of about 14 million. We are a people with different on views on issues that are happening in our societies. We have had the reactions from religious leaders, chiefs, political leaders and other civil society organizations but a lot people have not done so. We want them to speak too,” said Chikweza adding that they have not yet figured how much they will spend on the referendum.

    “AGM has been found to speak for Malawi against the act of homosexuality. It will ensure that change of this kind must not be imposed or dictated to us unless it is good and positive change that will bring development to this country. We are a people of our own culture, morals and values which we take very seriously,” he said Chikweza

    He said throughout their campaign; they will make posters stickers and light purple arm bands.

    “Light purple is our colour representing our message to the world that we are saying no to homosexuality in our society,” he said.

    The movement is being run under the theme; ‘Homosexuality is sinful and evil therefore it cannot be a human right’.

    "It will ensure that change of this kind...unless it is good and positive change that will bring development to this country."
    The report is clear and objective, unlike the confused words from Mr Chikweza. If AGM speaks against "homosexuality" it has already presumed that any "change" will be negative. I assume that he means that AGM will not accept homosexuality and will only accept changes in Malawi that it deems to be good...in its eyes. It isn't a "wind" that is blowing, more of a tornado across Malawi. A democracy is founded on its constitutional beliefs. The Constitution of Malawi is quite clear: all are equal and everyone has a right to dignity and privacy regardless of difference. In what sense does AGM speak for Malawi? Where did it receive that mandate from? So much for the "warm heart" of Africa-- it has turned its heart to cold stone.
