PENDAPALA Nakathingo, who is a member of the Central Committee on the Anti-gay marriage group has said that the group has send out a mass invitation to the public to petition for all political leaders to openly denounce homosexuality or face being cast out during elections.
Nakathingo said that there is talks within corridors that there are homosexual sympathizers within the ruling party as well as in the opposition parties.
The protest which is slated for 12 August, in Ondangwa, at the Ondangwa Trade fair centre at 10;00 will be attended by Jerry Ekandjo who tabled the Private Members bill in parliament calling for the banning of same sex marriage as well as jailing or fining those who solemnize or promote same sex marriage.
“Please take note that, every leader of any political party who is defending homosexuality and same sex marriages is against the people of Namibia and is not ready to lead the Namibian nation. We, the Namibian people shall demand that, all politicians who shall be a contesting to be voted as President or to become cabinet Minister must declare that He/She will never support homosexuality in Namibia at all,” the invitation to the protest reads.
The letter further states that a leaders failure to declare their anti-gay stance will result in the nation using their constitutional powers to elect anyone who is against homosexuality to become the President.
“Let us tell our families and friends as well as our children to stick to our African cultures and protect them. Please be prepared for the referendum to vote against gays and lesbians,” Nakathingo said.
In addition to the meeting in Ondangwa, the group said that another meeting will be held in Windhoek on the 2nd September 2023 (10:00), where the group shall defend their position as Namibians in protection of our fundamental rights, dignity and our culture.
“ All Namibians who works in the Northern regions must put on leaves on 12 August 2023, to go to the meeting in Ondangwa to fight against the LGBTQ Devils. Equally, on the 4th of September 2023, all Namibian Men and Women who are working in Namibia must put on a mass leaves to go to Parliament to tell our leaders that, we don’t want Homosexuality in Namibia,” the group invite requested.
The group further demanded that nobody should go to work on the 4th of September 2023, as it should be declared a national day against homosexuality in a Namibian calendar. In addition to this, the Anti-Homosexuality and Same-sex marriage group demanded that President Hage Geingob sign the anti-gay bill on 4th of September.
