“What you are doing — being homophobic — is no different with anyone who is xenophobic and racist,” Somizi said in response to the news.Somizi Mhlongo was supposed to be a guest chef in Zimbabwe but he was blocked because of his sexuality.Churches in Zimbabwe have mobilised to block SA media personality Somizi Mhlongo from coming to Zimbabwe because of his sexual orientation.
The Apostolic Christian Council of Zimbabwe wrote a letter to the President’s Office voicing its disapproval and to stop Mhlongo from coming to the country. Homosexuality is illegal in Zimbabwe and most of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community have to conceal their sexual identity. And this group of people remains marginalised.
Somizi has since responded on social media. Taking to Instagram with a video, Somizi said he was sad that his visit was cancelled and it showed that there was a long way to go for the LGBTQI+ community in Zimbabwe.
