Study on homosexuality in Zambia starts

Share

A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) has launched a baseline survey on homosexuality in Zambia.

Dette Resource Foundation Programs Director, David Musonda, told a media briefing in Lusaka today, that the survey will involve gathering statistics about homosexuality, its origins, prevalence and treatment of those involved.

He added that the survey will help to identify who is involved in homosexuality and, thereafter, interested groups will be engaged to chat the way forward.

Mr Musonda said that the survey dubbed ‘a baseline survey knowing the truth about homosexuality in Zambia ‘will be conducted in three towns, namely Lusaka, Kitwe and Livingstone.

He added that the survey will then spread to other parts of the country and run for four months starting from today.

Mr Musonda explained that in as much as Zambia is a Christian nation, there was need to love one another regardless of one’s status in society as the Bible teaches people the greatest commandment which is to love your neighbour.

He expressed optimism that the survey would not be antagonistic but will be carried out professionally and shall be confidential.

Mr Musonda has since appealed to the government, the corporate world, the donor community and the church to support the project.

  1. Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:34

  2. Serious praying and fasting is need in Zambia.
    if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.2 Chronicles 7:14

  3. Christians watch and pray, be alert, it seems they are not giving up but they are persistent, determined  and are finding different methods, how come such initiatives were not present during MMD rule?Lord deliver Zambia from all evil, in Jesus name amen.

  4.  Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [[a]in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.
     

  5. Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset—rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same ([b]identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world.

  6.  And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.
     

  7. To Him be the dominion (power, authority, rule) forever and ever. Amen (so be it).1 Peter 5:8-12
    Amplified Bible 

  8. It must be awful, being a homophobe. Having to spend all that time obsessing about what gay people must be doing with their genitals. Every time you close your eyes, an imaginary gay man’s penis rises from the murk, bowing ominously in your direction sensing your discomfort. Laughing, mocking, possibly winking. How dare they, this man and his cock? Obviously you can’t fight the big gay cock in your head. It has no physical form, so you can’t grip on it, much as you would like to. You would love to grab it and throttle it until it sputters its last. That might bring closure!

  9. USELESS!!! So what!! Spend money on more important projects that are life-saving, than this useless project. suppose you find 100 people in Lusaka are Homos, so what????

  10. Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.  But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

  11. The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’“‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’“‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 

  12. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”Matthew 13:24-30

  13. How are the findings going to be used? To start advocating recognition of those useless animals? To offer them counselling services? To close the tap on its source? To let them start making their stupid noise like Lesbians, Gays and Transgender (LEGATRA) fools behaved at some point? Then it was established that ka Jon Lomoy, Norwagian Ambassador was behind that noise. Ka Musonda wafumya money for that study?

  14. I remember Newstead Zimba then, as Foreign Affairs minister asked the Norwegian govt if it was their policy to support illegal banned or un recognised activities and/organisations in other countries. What happened? Generous Jon Lomoy was recalled. @Zambia is a Christian Nation, thanks for your bible citations of ancient wisdom. Ba Zambia we ought to be very careful. Ifya ku kopa too much will lead us into apostasy

  15. Mwamoneni nomba chalo chileya mukupwa. Mugabe of Zimbabwe said if your father married a man where you going to be there. God created ADAM and EVE. HE did not create ADAM and MOSES. Njumbwi njumbwi mumafi yamunobe.

  16. We all sin one way or another
    .
    1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” (NIV).

  17. Dear David Musonda, Firstly you know by now that extensive studies have shown over and over that homosexuality is not genetic. It is a choice. Just as paedophilia (sex molestation of children) is not genetic, but a choice. Just as bestiality (sex with animals) is not genetic, but a choice. Secondly, you also know by now that a genuine Christian does NOT hate homosexuals, but dislikes the act itself as it is unnatural. So what exactly is your research in support of, other than just receiving suspected ‘dirty’ money from your NGO funders.? Do not play dice with your life and future like this, my friend. You are special in God’s eyes.  

  18. What does “CHAT the way forward” mean?? I ask as it is so often used by LT!! Or are you meant to say “Chart”???

  19. ” I give you a new Commandment, that you love one another, Just as I have loved you, you should love one another. By this everyone will know you are my disciple. 
    John 13: 34-35″

    Homosexuals in Zambia should be shown they are loved by the people of God. Perfect people were not the first people Jesus looked for. He went first to the lost sheep.

  20. A real study/research is achieved by PARTICIPATORY. David need to experience both from & into behind. They he can give make a good recommendation with demonstration to the cabinet ministers or whoever he is studying for.

  21. What appears to be a harmless survey might in reality turn out to be an all out strategy to brainwash the masses to support this unAfrican, unZambian, unchristian and unwanted way of life. Men and women of God, let us take caution and pray (but also act!) to defend our ethnic, cultural and religious values in our beloved country.

    And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their deeds.” 2 Corinthians 11:12-15

  22. The price that Jesus paid on Calvary is able to set free those who are bound by ths abomination and every other sin, there is no other solution to man’s wickedness and sins but only the blood of Jesus, surveys are not the answer, human rights are not the answer but only the blood of Jesus.

  23. if this abomination is tied to the ruling party, every christian who voted for this Govt needs to repent.For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?.Matthew 16:26

  24. We need to be more open minded, know how many people are invoved in homosexuality in zambia, then as christians start arehabilitation program for those involved. Here is work for social workers.

  25. Ifya bupuba fye. Ka Musonda kalefwaya fye money. Ukutumpa. This topic must be closed once and for all.

  26. If these people show up in our residence we should stone them. We are not going to corupt ourselves just because some greedy Musonda has got some money from a gay country. We should find his source of funding and do what we did to the Norwegians.
    All constitutions including the draft do not allow this so this Musonda shut be arrested.

  27. Out of all tribes in Zambia it has to be started by David MUSONDA. Musonda has to offer more on this uncultured, unZambian and immoral method of raising money. The heart is really and desparately wicked. He, who sits on the throne created them male and female. Who is man like dust to defile that rule? Musonda alleges that those who are identified can be treated. Yes they need intervention in any way to be healed. Know therefore Musonda (you)they are SICK people or as one says, ‘they choose to be gay lesbian or the other. All well know gay people were once married (Rev. J Anglican priest, Elton Jones have children in their previous marriages) Shame on you Musonda to champion a cause of shame to your being and your tribe. Witches at least exist carry on a research on them as well.

  28. WHAT A SHAME WHY WASTE MONEY ON USELESS SURVEY??????????

    IF YOU ARE BEING FUNDED TO BRING HOMOSEXUALITY IN OUR COUNTRY ZAMBIA IT WILL NOT WORK.MEN SHOULD MARRY WOMAN AND ENJOY LIFE-SIMPLE.

  29. It will be good to read the research findings.However, quantitative research design is not ‘rich’ in gathering the required data. It would have been more viable to employ a qualitative methodology through in-depth interviews. This study will attract a lot of attention. I wonder want theoretical models will be used. 

  30. All christian ,morally upright and well cultured Zambians should also carry out a survey as to why traditional marriage is important to Zambia and the approach that Zambia should take to curb this abomination. Muvi TV reports that the abomination study will be done in boarding schools and Prisons. 

  31. Govt needs to address the issue of prisons , let each prisoner have his own cell instead of finding immoral solutions and justification from this survey. Secondly boarding schools should have boys and girls instead of the wide practice today where it is girls only and boys only. 

  32. All christian ,morally uprght and well cultured Zambans should donate money for this traditional  marriage(marriage between man and woman) survey and defend your land as no NGO would provide money for a survey for preservation of traditional marriage.

  33. The following must be executed:
    1. Those disobedient to parents (Lev 20:9)
    2. Those who commit incest (Lev 20:11-14)
    3. Those who commit adultery (Lev 20:10)
    4. Those who sleep with a spouse of a blood relative (Lev 20:12-14)
    5. Those who sleep with animals (Lev 20:15-16)
    6. Both the man and the woman who have slept with each other during her period (Lev 20:18)
    7. All practicing male homosexuals (Lev 20:13)

  34. Question; Why is the creation of God of Male and Female nature? Even maize has male and female parts including flowers. That is why Bees play a big part in pollination in flowers as they transfer female seeds from one flower to another. A survey for things that should not be existing!!!!!!

  35. #17 solid argument but If God created Adam and Eve I’m sure he also created Adam and Steve. Only he forgot to make provision for Steve to get pregnant. He he! What I mean is if the creator created everything then he is responsible for everything down here correct and incorrect, moral and immoral, perfect and imperfect

  36. A musonda go and study ways to stop chitemene system of Agriculture in your northern province. Why you of the 73rd kingdom group of Zambia is doing this anyway? Seek the Lord and invest the money those foreign European countries have given you into a farm. It is genocide for homosexuality to be promoted. John 3:16 my brother our Lord the savior Jesus died for our salvation and resurrection. Stop this now and get saved; preserve our continent for the works of our God please. Abash the nonsense in your grey muscle.

  37. Matt 19:4-5 “…at the begining, the Creator made them ‘male and female’ and said ‘For this reason man will leave his father and mother, be united with his wife; and the two will become one flesh”. Common sense tells us that it is not man, on man or woman on woman. Lev 18:22, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” Lev 20:13, “if a man lies with a man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death, thier blood is upon them.”
    Other readings on homosexuality include Genesis 19: 1-16; Judges 19:22-28; Romans 1:21-27, I Cor 6:9-10;and 1Tim 1:9-10. There are several arguments put across by those who are perverse in mind and no matter what their argument, homosexuality is a SIN and period. A SIN is a SIN.

  38. It is quite sad how people have sold thier souls to the green paper. This whole nonsesnse of saying is a baseline survey is all about lining his pocket with cash. It is more of a personal poverty alleviation programme than trying to study the extent of this sinful and abhorent act. What is there to study? All these people need are theuraputical treatment. These are mental patients.

  39. Mr Musonda you must first declare who your pay masters are…..Why do you want to undertake such a survey in the first palce??? Who is sponsoring your survey?? What will you do with the informationgathered?? Can you plaese declare your sexual orientation before you undertake such a siurvey, so that we know what information to give you…..You must have been sent by these foreigners to gather that USELESS information you are looking for….LOL…….Please stop the rot and concentarte on praying to your GOD….

  40. #22 Jean,

    Don’t tell me that you intend to say that to love homosexual offenders means to embrace their acts. On the contrary, if you encourage homosexual people in their conduct it amounts to hatred fro them.
    Just like thieves, dont tell me that to love thieves is to embrace their conduct. If you are going to encourage thieves in their conduct you are actually expressing you hatred for them.
    The one who loves people will persuade them to turn away from their weaked ways.
    This is what Jesus meant when he said love your neighbor – that if you neighbour is going into the ditch you must help him out and guide him of the way.
    So dont promote or champion the cause of homosexual offenders, or thieves to feel free to steal in the name of love. Then you totally lack understanding.

  41. Kafupi was used by God Almighty to declare Zambia as a christian nation.He set a standard which christians are supposed to abide by.Much as he was ruthless and cruel but God used him to erect a beacon of standard.He might have weaknesses and shortfalls but he was a leader who knew the values of being Christ like.Homos are failing to come in the open because the values of christianity do not tolerate their activities.Any leader who will remove that standard will receive an everlasting curse because that was a devine proclamation.Do we want our children to be lesbians and homos?Do we,as a nation,want a generation of cursed pervets?Anyone who is going to temper with the declaration will see the wrath of God.Let Sata,as a president come out in the open and condemn this abomination.

  42. Money is the root of all evil ……

    Satan is corrupting Mr Musonda by offering him money to ‘ survey ‘ Satanic and unChristian things . Why are these Western agencies so obsessed with homos anyway ? Just because they are homosexual they want to bring it here too. There are many deserving normal people who could benefit from foreign money. Forget the Queers !

  43. Nine Chale 24 is spot on ….. once this abomination is ” normalised ” under the pretence of so-called surveys or whatever , it then creeps into mainstream society .’ Give a dog a name ‘ …….. well actually no I would rather not ….. Remember a lot of what the West does as ‘ normal ‘ is dangerous and immoral . Example smoking drugs , teenage drinking , abortions. All this as well as homosexuals of all kinds are promoted and normalised in UK and USA.

  44. Ok, anyway I am doing my thesis on this issue with Chreso University. May guide the Church over this issue.

  45. The truth about homosexuality is that whether in legal or illegal in U.K. USA or Zambia, it is primarily a sin against God because the practice operates in contrary to nature that God has set in place and it is a pervesion. Therefore, all homosexual practice whether in a gay marriage or homoadultery or fornication, it is a sin. PERIOD! It is a sin just like other sins that are legal in Zambia such as adultery, polygamism, revenge, drunkenness, etc. Homosexuals and all other sinners need Jesus in order for them to be saved from the bondage of sin. I don’t advocate for legalising the practice in Zambia but whether it becomes legal or remains illegal, homosexuals are in need of salvation from all their sins including other sins like lying, stealing, drunkenness, etc.
