The Zambia Police Service has warned that homosexuality is a very serious offence in Zambia.
The warning comes following an article that appeared in today’s Zambia Daily Mail, edition number 080 concerning gay marriages.

In a statement made available to ZANIS in Lusaka yesterday , Police Spokesperson, Elizabeth Kanjela, noted that the offence attracts a sentence of not less than five years imprisonment once one is convicted under Unnatural Offences of Section 155, 156 and 158 CAP 87 of the Laws of Zambia.

Ms Kanjela, therefore, indicated that anyone who will be found wanting will face the wrath of the law as the police will be vigilant on perpetrators of such a crime.

Ms Kanjela has since appealed to members of the public to report anyone found committing such a crime to any nearest police station in order to maintain sanity in communities.
In another development, police in Central Province have arrested one man out of the four who raped a girl of 18 years old.

The remaining three are reported to be on the run after committing the offence.
Police Spokesperson, Elizabeth Kanjela, said the incident occurred between 10:00hrs and 22:00hrs on April 2, 2013, at Mpongwe turnoff area.

Ms Kanjela identified the arrested man as Mike Manyongo.

She explained that the victim was dragged into the bush by the culprits who then tied her legs and hands and started having carnal knowledge of her several times.

The victim has since sustained bruises on her private parts and general body pains.
Ms Kanjela said the suspect has been charged with rape contrary to Section 132 Cap 87 of the Laws of Zambia and will appear in court soon.

Meanwhile, police in Katete District in Eastern Province have arrested 288 rioters of which 144 are males, 117 are females while the rest are children under 18 years old.

This follows the riot that erupted in the district this morning.

Police Spokesperson, Elizabeth Kanjela, has told ZANIS in a statement in Lusaka yesterday that the screening of the culprits is still going on.

Ms Kanjela said the police have also recovered assorted goods ranging from food stuffs, groceries, generators, and farming implements among others.

She has urged members of the public not to take the law in their hands but to report any problem they may be faced with to the nearest police station.

Ms Kanjela has also thanked the Ministry of Defence and other security wings for working with the police in bringing the situation back to sanity.

  1. Kapata is guilty of obstructing justice.
    His job was to collect the details of those homos as if he is registering them and forward them to the police.

  2. The most nicest people you can ever meet are of the same sex ie gays

    To be honest these people MUST be accepted in Zambia because some people are born with sexuality that prefers the same gender
    Also I hate the word homosexuals, gays, lesbian is better
    They are born that way.
    Believe me from personal experience, when I spoke to Nick’s friend he said he first started experimenting,He realized that he liked guys much more than girls. He never chose for that to happen to him
    Also I don’t think that sexual conversion is possible in my own opinion, but I think that would be wrong to try and change someone for who they really are.

    I would strongly suggest we accept them in Zambia, its ignorant to turn them away. Europe does why not poor Zambia?
    Thanks

  3. Let the charge for such cases be life in prison with hard labour.as long as the charges will be just 5 – 10 yrs,such crimes will never end.
    We dont need such people in society,let such people be taken where they belong.

  4. The Swedish study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, compared the size of the brain’s halves in 90 adults.
    Gay men and heterosexual women had halves of a similar size, while the right side was bigger in lesbian women and heterosexual men.
    A UK scientist said this was evidence sexual orientation was set in the womb.

    As far as I’m concerned there is no argument any more – if you are gay, you are born gay

    Scientists have noticed for some time that homosexual people of both sexes have differences in certain cognitive abilities, suggesting there may be subtle differences in their brain structure
    How on earth this Kangela wants to claim its a serious offence is puzzling and ignoramus i feel

    Thanks

  5. KEKEKEKE! THEY ARE BORN THAT WAY AND WE NEED TO ACCEPT THEM? SHOWS HOW DULL AND SHALLOW MINDED U ARE.. IF U DO IT IN THE UK DOESN’T MEAN IT SHOULD ALSO BE DONE IN ZAMBIA. LET EVERYONE WHO NEEDS IT GO TO THE UK AND USA PERIOD.

  6. Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them
    Ezekiel 3: 18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
    Please heed this warning! # 2 try to see things in the context of Gods word, for surely as day follows night, whether we like it or not we have to give account of our lives before God. Mathew…

  7. # 2 & 5: We are all born sinners period. Nonetheless, we can not justify perpetual sinning even after we come to know right and wrong.
    Jeremiah 2:19 > Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee,saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

  8. Look @ the scientific proof of the topic. Zambia has the right to determine what kind of laws it wants and what kind society it wants. Study after study has shown that homosexuality is NOT a choice and people should not be persecuted for what they naturally are. The topic should be studied carefully before you come to unnecessary harsh punishment. For those of u using Christianity as a weapon, remember that judgement is up to God and God himself. Study history and ask yourself ur self: who wrote the book Leviticus? Look at the history of the bible and it’s origin before foolishly quoting it. You risk persecuting innocent human beings which is against The Lord almighty. @ Mushota, I totally agree with what you are writing.

    • Is not Zambia a christian nation? are not ours laws and penal code derived from biblical and christian principles? didn’t He who said thou shall not kill also say not to hate, steal, commit adultery, not to lay with man kind as with woman etc?
      we have to agree on what principles we are governed otherwise we are lost and have no direction.

  9. God created man and a woman for reason, it was not a mistake, it was well planned. There is no excuse for been homosexual, some of you guys are supporting it simply because you are practicing it.stay were you are and never come back to Zambia because zanbia doesnt need you.Mushota may not be the only one practicing it, there many more, watch out!

  10. Mutembo Nchito Lied to Parliament, Faces Contempt
    Published April 5, 2013 By Evans Mulenga

    Muetmbo Nchito during parliamentary committee sittingDirector of Public Prosecutions Mutembo Nchito is coming under pressure to resign and face possible prosecution for freeing his creditor Rajan Mathani from prosecution. Nchito also faces contempt of Parliament charges for misleading the legislature.

    It has emerged that Nchito, while making submissions to Parliament to support his ratification as DPP, pledged and assured a Select Committee chaired by Solwezi Central legislator Lucky Mulusa to recuse himself on any criminal matters that would involve Mathani and Banda.

    This was as a result of numerous concerns raised by various stakeholders to parliament about Nchito’s impartiality if…

  11. Along Bwinjimfumu Road there are people that allegedly commit the crime frequently and you can start by arresting them.

  12. You cannot call yourself a Christian and also practice homosexuality. There is no religious teaching that supports homosexuality.
    Homosexuals must be accpeted into society but must not practice their acts in public as they represent a minority and they would be offending a cross section of the population.

  13. MUSHOTA I CANT WAIT TO SEE SOME MAN WITH HIS HARD DICK BONK U FROM YOUR BEHIND.

    Now Kanjela has a child with Malama the former IG. She committed adultery, why cant she arrest herself first to serve as a lesson that adultery which is a crime just as she is saying for Homos all must be punished.

  14. Homosexuality is another form of mental illness, Let Government provide information and Rehabilitaion centres for these youths who have no idea what they are getting themselves into, they say ingnorance is a crime.
    They actually have no clue of the side effects they will later suffer emotionally and physically, i hope educating them on these issues will enlighten them make normal descions, i cant even go into details of the side effects on this forum, way to much for reading aswel as digesting!

  15. If we allow homos then we must allow those that have sex with animals too coz they claim they were born that way! then we must allow people who want to marry a woman plus another man as their preferred way of polygamy.

    We are really getting fcuked up as humans

    Solution…..Exterminate all homos.

  16. Zambians are such hypocrites, they prefer to criminalise only certain violations of the Ten commandments while they relish in violation of others. What is the difference between adultery, fornication, homosexuality etc before god? We all know almost all Zambia’s cabinet ministers, maybe except Ms Wina, have all committed at least one of the above offences. With Sata, he is without shame a serial fornicator and wedded to adultery. All thiose who have been to Zambians prisons will tell you the homosexuality is rampant. Look at Richard Sakala, he came out of jail limping from the pummel he received from a jail top dog.

  17. I said this before:
    Whether it is immoral is a personal question that should be left to the individual, but it is repugnant to prevent consenting adults from engaging in consensual actions that do not harm the public.
    To be honest there will always be immoral people, be the adulterers, liars, or homosexuals. Obviously blatant over the top displays of immoral behaviour should not be tolerated, but is there anything more particularly wrong with seeing two men holding hands than seeing a pair of obvious fornicators (normally you can tell from the discrepancy in age) cuddling? Well your own rights are not infringed by homosexual behaviour, I see no reason to forbid it
    Please Zambians grow Up, accept Gays and Lesbians
    Thanks

  18. Mushota, you must have your brain where it is indecent to mention. The only fortunate thing is that there are very few Zambians who have the desperation and moral depravity as yourself. Yes, there will always be immoral people but it is unacceptable for anyone to legitimise abominations on such basis. If you think it is okey for homosexuals to do what they do then use your mouth to defeacate and see what happens. Robert Mugabe aptly described Gays and Lesbains as worse than pigs because a pig would not do what these filthy fellows do.

  19. There is a difference between accepting Homos and allowing them. The law does not allow homosexuality in Zambia though it does not indicate either accepting their being. As Christians we do not allow their actions or way of life but we do accept they are there and that they are sinners and need spiritual help.

  20. KANJELA ITS A FREE COUNTRY YOU CANNOT CONTROL WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING TRY TO MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS OR SIT DOWN AND REPORT THE TRAFIC ACCIDENT THAT KEEP KILLING PEOPLE EVERY DAY.

  21. Pastors, let us begin to plan for National prayers to seek the face of God to forgive our land of all sins, past and present. Please pastors give guidance this is your responsibility. America is history today all because of trespasses committed on its land. God Bless Zambia God Bless Africa.

  22. Is Zambia tresspassing on human rights by arresting gays and lesbians. Foreign will not be given from Europe and America where they want you to recognize doing it from behind. Only China will give. Take your pick!!!!!!!

  23. Homeosexuallity is not by choice or by leisure and above all,being gay does not necessarilly mean you dress up like a woman or wanna have sex all the time…we see criminals,prostitutes,casanovas,false prophets,devil worshippers that have repented there sins and are forgiven by god-so how dare you unfaithful cheaters of your husbands or wives,girlfriends or boyfriends wanna condemn gays for being whom they are?do they berg for you to love them when theve got love of there father in heaven? And did you know that masturbation is homeosexuallity?i no longer fear hell because i know that only love,peace,unity,sacrifice,forgiveness and deliverance will save us.but for straight men who fornicate in which ever form and later on condemn gays…need severe punishment or lets start an eye for an…

  24. Stupid Zambians, you want homesexuals to be arressted, what about the mahules. Zambia has the highest rate of people with AIDS in the world, because of sex and these people who are HIV postive are not homesexual, Europe and USA have the lowest number of people living with HIV/AIDS. Arrest people who are mahules, arrest men who take women for sexual desires, Why isn’t then Europe and USA have the lowest number of HIV and AIDS but they allow Homesexual, we Africans we shallow minded, I do not support it, but if there are people who are homesexual in Zambia let them be, and let them practice it freerly without being arrested. If we are saying its unnatural to be homesexual what about people who kill in Zambia, witchcraft, prostitutes and many evils things.

  25. Then all forms of sex should be allowed, even the defilers maybe they are attracted to young pipo… What does this mean? Lawlessness, even in Europe they are debating but the question is; why now?????? I ask again why debating this issue now after thousands of years???? Time is nigh and its time whoever has eyes should see and whoever has ears should hear…. LETS REPENT PIPO!!!!!

    • exactly Sodom scenario is here. before God destroyed Sodom he investigated and found Grievous sins (genesis 18:20). what was that grievous sin? Homosexuality. People in Sodom openly practiced and preached gay rights just like now? Lord Have Mercy. for sure God will destroy this Generation unless we repent; otherwise he has to raise up Sodom and apologize!

  26. AIDS in Zambia is killing people not homesexuality, why can’t we arrest people with AIDS, in EUROPE AND USA the percentage of people with AIDS is the lowest in the world, but they support homesexuality, there are alot of sins in Zambia, prostitution, witchcraft, murder, sex before marriage, corruption, fornication, and audultery, why are these people not arrested, the same kanjela has a son without a father. I do not support homesexuality but if people are doing it why arrest them.

  27. Let people of zambia enjoy whatever they want mama officer better take care of careless drivers killing people every day stop waisting your time about homesexual work hard on trafic law we have lost thousand and thousand of innocent people because of careless drivers you allow mini and bus drivers driving while drunk..why cant you send lazy officers on highway patrol to check on the speed..who cares about homesexual its only 0.01% of zambian populations now look how many people dying on road accident every day madam kanjela stop talking nonsense its time for action send officers to clubs at nite to check on drunken drivers and stop them to drive or send to police cell. i hope i will get a support from fellow zambia..forget about homesexual.

  28. Involving God and the Bible in debates, such as this one, is a sign that one has nothing to contribute. It is a fact that most prisoners, including Zambian prisoners, engage in sodomy. If Zambians were so ‘innocent’, why is it that homosexuality is rampant in our prisons. Turning a blind eye and pretending that there are no homosexuals in our country or indeed demonising them is truly ignorant. Our prisons are full of AIDS, which spills out into general society when the prisoners are released. Zambians have perfected the art of ‘Ostrich with head in the sand’. We do not talk to our children about anything remotely intimate. We pretend our children are not playing ‘hide the sausage’, even when we know they are. To me this all part of the same mentality.

  29. The very fact that people want to leave God out of there activities is the root cause of all this mess. Where there is NO God sin will flourish; murders, corruption, ungodliness, selfishness, unnatural affections, defilement’s list is endless. Were there is Fear of the Lord there is wisdom, love, peace, prosperity, meekness and again list is endless. Take your Pick Mr Mukame and God bless you.

  30. mukame totally support you, we Zambians we tend to forget what is destroying our country, these people who claim to be christians are the most horrible people, pastors are involved in unnatural practices, we are dead,blind but still alive, homosexuality is not a problem, AIDS is the problem in Zambia

  31. MUSHOTA, you are now rotten. I thought you where educated but not. Same sex couples are lows self esteem people, worse than criminals.

  32. And so should adultery which Kanjela committed with Dr Malama that resulted in the siring of an illegal bastardo! So girl back off from what any two consenting adults engage in. Yours should be to fight all the rising rape etc crimes in Zambia.

  33. The most precious things on earth are hidden. Gold, Diamonds, Mercury, Oil are buried deep in the belly of the earth. They can only be found after much exploration and digging.

    The body of a woman is supposed to be a precious thing that you don’t get to view easily on the street. A man must have some struggle and imagination stretched so that he can salivate to have a glimpse of the Chibelo.

    Nowadays, all parts can be viewed in the streets and they leave no taste at all. It is just like looking at fipushi ne myungu no bwamba bwa mbwa ubwenda mu public kekekekeke, awe mwe!
