Harare(ZimEye)The trial of an MDC-T MP who is facing charges of undermining the office of President Robert Mugabe following allegations she labeled Mugabe a homosexual, kicked off at the Mutare Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday.
Hon. Lynette Karenyi Kore, the MP for Chimanimani East was arrested last December following a rally where she is alleged to have claimed Mugabe had a gay relationship with former Information Minister Jonathan Moyo.
The derogatory comments were allegedly made at a party rally on the 9th December.
Speaking in low regard of Mugabe who is known for his anti-gay views and has described homosexuals as “worse than pigs and dogs”, is a criminal offence in Zimbabwe.
The MP has denied making the alleged comments and her party has labeled them ‘false’.
She was granted bail but the State invoked the notorious Section 121 (3) of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act (Chapter 9:07), which denied her freedom for one week.
She was remanded in prison for one week and was only released after the Christmas holidays.
The trial continues tomorrow (Friday)

They are human rights!!!! and saying that they are, does not make one gay ..I am not gay and am a father of 6 boys,wonderful kids i am fully aware that it is possible that one of them could be gay…educate yourselves about this issue and you will find a meeting place with the fact that gay people are just other people thats that…
Lynette should be dealt with accordingly. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Tsvangson on record saying gay rights were also “human rights” in an interview with the BBC News? What can be more gay than that? Come to think of it it won’t be surprising if this Morgan guy turns out to be a bisexual. I mean this guy enjoys experimenting with sex & his libido seems to be on the peak these days, or is it months/years. A pervert for real
Muzvina purazi…iwewe unorwara the fact that youcan even hope for a dog like mugabe to be retained shows how pinfully stupid and missled you are..the sorrows of our people under that evil man ,you have not seen? as for your take on homosexuals ,you sir are as sick as your derrnged idol..who himself had relations with men in the war an old and sick homosexual is mugabe and you are no better..and by the way being a homo is simply natural and i am sure mugabe had fun…if he still could get it up he would keeping a few boys…
@ Shobele..your reaction is typical of a closet homo and by the way I am not gay…
Ndinoda kuti ngochani dzakaita sanatewa dzimbotaura tsvina dzadzo dziripedyo neni muone kunonzi kurohwa kwendururane.
Leave politics to politician
I agree with the MDC-T u should blame the dogs (ZANU PF)for Mugabe being a gay so viva MDC-T.
why do straight ppl waste so much time debating gayism? Gayism is probably as old as humanity itself and i dont see how you would regard it as a legal issue. It could be an irritation to some ppl but but what do you have abt the lifestyle of ppl like Elton John, Versace. Yves St Laurent, Gucci , Luther Vandross. They may happen to be your favorite singer/designer. do you boycott their product/services

Mugabe anotuka vanhu pamadiro parally asi kana otukwawo zvanzi mavara azara ivhu. Uyu Mubhurandaya mudzvinyiriri chaiye.
No smoke without fire. I think it all makes sense now. Despite Jonathan Moyo being labelled gay and quoted in all gay incidents involving journalists and Politiburo members Mugabe has so much passion for the Ngochani King that he re-admitted him not only into Zanu PF but straight into the Politiburo -no questions asked. They definitely know each other and I hope Grace doesn’t mind!
Can’t we for once hold rallies that focus on our parties’ (better) policies while castigating the policies of rival parties. Can’t we leave Mugabe alone, Chematama alone and instead criticize what the parties stand for? Of course, every party has a symbolic face: ZANU PF is Mugabe and MDC-T is Tsvangirai. But at rallies (pane vana, adults and chembere) let’s not make sport of getting into Tsvangirai’s bedroom, Mugabe’s pants and such… I know it’s popular but what does it help when it sends you to the slammer for a week or longer? We’re all frail human beings and surely it’s no use broadcasting the twig in your rival’s eye when you have a log in yours.
sodom n gomora was destroyed by GOD’s anger over gayz.thus foolishness,wat kind of human rights opposes GOd’s plans.
Thank you Cde Kemet for telling the truth. Our President is being demonised right now by the West because of his anti homosexuality stance which they consider as a human right. This misguided MP should be jailed for deregatory remarks
Hatidi zvakadaro Zimbabwe.Kana bhaibheri rinoramba zvakaora zvakadaro.Kana Mbuya Nehanda na Sekuru Kaguvi havadi izvi.
