Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Former Ambassador Emmanuel Mwamba has warned that President Hakainde Hichilema\u2019s fraternisation and cosy policies with the West will cost Zambia its soul. \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be long before we witnessed what we saw on Saturday 4th March 2023,\u201d said Mwamba.<\/p>\n

Mwamba places all the blame for the gay parade hijack that took place in Lusaka on President Hichilema, as all these activities are being allowed under his watch. \u201cZambians don\u2019t say you were not warned,\u201d he warns.<\/p>\n

The LGBTQ activists and members who participated in the protest turned it into a protest for gay rights. \u201cChnna Changa, My P*ssy, My Choice\u201d was the demand for sexual rights that shocked motorists who witnessed the parade.<\/p>\n

Homosexuality and its promotion are illegal in Zambia because it offends cultural, traditional, Christian, public morals, and national principles and values. Mwamba notes that the government has deliberately turned a blind eye, allowing the LGBTQ agenda to be heavily promoted using social media and legal challenges. \u201cThey hire good and expensive lawyers to challenge the legality of the criminalization of homosexuality and gay sex and its relationships,\u201d says Mwamba.<\/p>\n

Mwamba warns that activists dare the law when they feel the country has achieved a friendly judiciary or friendly gay-agenda judges. He cites legal successes in Botswana and Kenya, stating that LGBTQ awareness and training workshops in Livingstone, Siavonga, and Lusaka are bearing fruit, as seen in the parade.<\/p>\n

He advises Zambians not to take the situation lightly, as the LGBTQ agenda is heavily promoted in Africa. \u201cAll those LGBTQ awareness and training workshops in Livingstone, Siavonga and Lusaka the last one year are bearing fruit as seen by today\u2019s activities,\u201d Mwamba says. He cautions that the promotion of homosexuality and gay rights are a threat to the country\u2019s values and morals.<\/p>\n
