No Gay Rights in Zimbabwe, Says Mugabe

Zimbabwe President, Robert Mugabe, says the issue of gay rights being written into the country's pending constitution cannot be discussed.

Mugabe has described those wanting to discuss gay rights as ‘mad’, adding that, "If we do, the dead will rise against us."

The country's power-sharing government headed by Mugabe and former opposition leader, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, is shortly to embark on nationwide public hearings about the drafting of a new constitution.
