I didnt know that Former Pres Kaunda would be interested in such an initiative….

Kudos to them.

This would not be the same retired President Kenneth Kaunda who is pressuring the current Zambian government to impose stiffer penalties on sodomites.

Festus Mogae was President of Botswana from 1998 (not 1999) to 2008.

Festus Mogae the former Botswana President is just being funny. When he was president between 1999 and 2008, his government categorically refused to decriminalize gayism despite stiff western pressure. It is highly unlikely that retired General Ian Khama the current President of Botswana will repeal that law. At best, the sodomy law will remain unenforced as it has been since 2003.

I know for a fact that Dr Kazibwe (she is a medic) is a friend. Proffessor Were is one of the forces behind the current MSM outreaches in Kenya. If it wasnt for her, they would not be there. [Contrast with Uganda where Prof Apuuli who heads the Uganda AIDS Commission refuses to target gay men for HIV prevention. He fears the gay agenda]

I didnt know that Former Pres Kaunda would be interested in such an initiative, but, as Festus Mogae shows, sometimes being out of political power makes one able to do things of conscience.

Kudos to them.

[Just wonder whether this is the Elders group, which Tutu formed with Mandela. Not sure that it is.]
