President Zuma: South Africa ‘respects’ Uganda’s new anti-gay law

South African President Jacob Zuma has said that his country ‘respects’ Uganda’s new anti-gay law, and refused to condemn it.

Zuma was responding to a parliamentary question today, asking him to make clear South Africa’s stance on the Ugandan law, which South Africa is yet to condemn.

He wrote: “South Africa respects the sovereign rights of other countries to adopt their own legislation.

“In this regard, through diplomatic channels South Africa engages with Uganda on areas of mutual concern bearing in mind Uganda’s sovereignty,”

The law, signed by the Ugandan president in February, imposes harsh penalties for anyone caught participating in ‘homosexual acts’, and clamps down even harder on ‘repeat offenders’.

South Africa became the first and so far only country in Africa to legalize same-sex marriage in 2006, but Zuma, elected in 2009, has long been an opponent of gay rights, and has been accused of holding the country back.

He said in 2012 that he would act ‘in a certain way’ if he ever had a gay child.

How he can complain against the previous apartheid regime, is anyone's guess then, since he endorses the modern day equivalent.     

....That savage thinks that if you have a shower before and after sex, will protect you from HIV!

I think Zuma misread the news -- he thought he was supporting pro-rape rights.

Yea...Him and his other savages, are well in favour of that!  ::zomb::  ::zomb::  ::zomb::

it does seem that way, i'm not sure why gays would be in support of Muslims when you consider how - Hello, I'm very stupid - countries treat gays...

Zuma is not Mandela. Zuma is probably about as corrupt as Mugabee.

He has taken an up and coming progressive Country back into turmoil.

" Zuma, who has been the subject of a series of corruption accusations since taking office on 9 May 2009.

the controversial upgrade of President Zuma’s home in Nklandla, Kwa-Zulu Natal. Improvements to his property were justified on the basis of the need for increased security following his rise to the presidency. But the $23 million of taxpayers money spent on the project paid for much more than higher fences and security cameras: President Zuma now has a swimming pool and cattle ranch."

I would not listen to anything he says........... he is a wounded President and like all big animals is more dangerous when mortally injured.

OkK

Mandela did keep quiet, and that was very wrong, nor was Mandela the guy the world thought he was, but re SA he did make a huge difference.

Maybe - I take your point re prison.

So you do respect a country that treats its people like slaves- and would have respect Germany's right to persecute Jews- disgraceful...

of course he made a huge difference

but he was catastrophically short sighted - all he wanted was equality.

what about the aftermath of regime change??

he never foresaw that or he didn't care, but more people, both white and black, have did for his ideals since the regime change, than all those combined who died under apartheid BECAUSE of apartheid

you know what the tragedy is?? he could easily have been the hero people have made him out to be IF he wanted it.

he didnt

Of course places like Iran and Saudi Arabia executing gays is a disgrace; I have said as much in the past and it remains the case today.

I am willing to answer points; you, a coward, are not. Slavery condoner that you are.

it always amazes me that the gays being executed in these countries count less to you than getting on up on a Christian you argue with on an online forum

you spend more time attacking Christianity and Christians for the imagined wrongs they have done you than you do exposing the very real human rights violations that are perpetrated by Muslims (a sector of society you have allied yourself with) against gays (a sector of society to which you belong)

that is the same as a Jew aiding the Nazis to kill Jews

well done turncoat
