gay rights included in Zimbabwe’s proposed new constitution.
In a mass during Sunday service at Harvest House International, Pastor Taurai Mafote did not mention Mr Tsvangirai by name, but made oblique reference to the Prime Minister whom Copac members claimed had tried to smuggle the issue of homosexuals into the constitution.
Pastor Mafote expressed his disappointment that other churches in the country maintained a stone’s silence on a matter that impinged on Christian faith.
He attacked “leaders who betray the people who elect them” by trying to introduce issues that were contrary to Christian values in the country.
“Pasi navo! (Down with them!).”
President Mugabe and the generality of Zimbabweans have vehemently opposed homosexuality and has even said the gays and lesbians are worse than pigs and dogs.
Pastor Mafote supported that view, saying God created a woman with a womb to receive seed from a man for procreation and it was contrary to God’s design for a man to marry a man and for a woman to marry a woman.
British Prime Minister David Cameron is known to be pushing the issue of gay rights by making it a condition to extend aid to developing countries.
Mr Tsvangirai and his MDC are backed by Britain and America, which want regime change to send President Mugabe and Zanu-PF into political oblivion in order to pave way for a party that panders to the whims of the West.
It was in America that same sex marriages started decades ago, with the Christian church on the other side of the Atlantic totally opposed to that development.
Just recently the French Parliament blocked an attempt to introduce a bill that sought to legalise homosexuality in that country.
Next door to Zimbabwe, some people in South Africa have clearly come out as being amenable to homosexuality.
