Trending | Kelly Khumalo snubs ‘homophobic’ Zimbabwe in solidarity with Somizi
The restaurant enlisted the services of the Empini hitmaker after Mhlongo was refused entry into Zimbabwe by officials, in what has been deemed a “homophobic move” by a church organisation, which wrote to authorities requesting that the Idols judge not be granted entry into the country because he was gay.
“Thank you Kelly for not showing up at Garwe reopening. On behalf of all Zimbabweans in solidarity with Somgaga we love you,” Instagram user Tanyas Events wrote.A Zimbabwean church group with a fellowship of about nine million congregants wrote to government requesting that Mhlongo be barred from entering the country because of his sexual orientation.
If we allow Somizi to come to our land, spiritually we would have been disturbed a lot, and physically we would have openly accepted homosexuality in Zimbabwe. “After reading the Sunday Mail article, our congregation felt that they were being violated. We stand firm and say to you we don’t support Somizi’s visit to Zimbabwe,’’ wrote the church group in their letter
