Never allow condoms in prisons unless if homosexuality is legalised - commentator

A commentator Allan Wenyika has said the government must never allow the distribution of condoms in prisons unless if that means t homosexuality is now legalised.

Wenyika said President Robert Mugabe has a reputation for hating homosexuals, describing them as worse than pigs and dogs.

"Why then does his government allow the distribution of condoms to horny inmates in our prisons? Does he know where those inmates insert their privates after wearing the condoms, or if its done by mutual consent? Isn't it an acknowledgement by Mugabe that homosexuality is rampant among prisoners?" he said.

"The government should make prison life bearable for all inmates. The sexual abuse of inmates by fellow inmates, or by gay prison officers, must never be entertained, whether condoms are used or not."

He said allowing the distribution, therefore, of condoms in prisons, for use by gay inmates, should only be done when homosexuality is legalized in Zimbabweans, and when prisoners are allowed to engage in sex among themselves.

"Anything else is hypocrisy by Mugabe and his government," he said.
