Kelvin Gonani condemned by gay activists

As Malawi24 first reported that Kevin Gonani was beaten by fellow members of the gay community for turning his 9 year old nephew into a sex slave and offering him for prostitution to other gay men, activists defending gays have condemned Gonani and advised government to have him arrested immediately.

Gonani offered 9 year old boy to be raped by 43 year old gay man

In a statement, Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation (CHRR) and Centre for the Development of People (CEDEP), two organisations that have been fighting for decriminalisation of homosexuality commended members of the gay community who rescued the 9 year old victim from Gonani.

The two organisations said they are extremely alarmed at claims of sexual exploitation and abuse of a minor by Gonani.

“Sexual abuse and exploitation of the child in Gonani’s care is an extremely serious and worrisome accusation and it is crucial that this case is thoroughly and urgently investigated by relevant authorities. Much as we are interested in the promotion of equal rights and social justice in Malawi, we at CHRR and CEDEP do not condone any sexual abuse of children.  This is why we are calling for Mr Gonani to be promptly investigated and, if it is established that he indeed sexually exploited the child, he must be prosecuted,” reads part of a joint statement from the two organisations signed by CHRR’s Timothy Mtambo and CEDEP’s Gift Trapence.

Gonani was offering his 9 year old nephew for prostitution to be raped by other gay men. Gonani was once arrested last year for engaging in sexual activities with another man. CEDEP and CHRR mounted legal action in his support which led to Malawi President Peter Mutharika pardoning him and his co-accused. Mutharika then issued a presidential decree suspending all laws that criminalise homosexuality in the country, a decision that has been overturned by the High Court in Mzuzu.

Mtambo and Trapence have also called on government to make sure that boys are also protected from sexual abuse saying the current laws on child abuse assume that only girls are sexually abused.

  33. Timothy and Tranpence, you have now vindicated those who said homosexuality is the work of the devil. So you have rights to defile a 9 year boy? The arrests should be effected not only because they defiled this boy, but the same should be extended to evey gay or lesbian.

  35. A Mabungwe omwe mukuikira kumbuyo agaluwa a gay bcareful coz posachedwapa toyamba kuotcha ma office anuwo,bwanji inu azikazi anuwo osasiya nkutengana ndi mwamuna kapena mkazi nzanu becareful nonse!Tiotcha ndithu kapena chiwembu chinachake chikufikirani even God he is very angry with that khalidwe!

  54. Wina aphedwe ndi uyu akumati ku malawi kulibe azimayi okongola ose ali mmatenda. Then he goes on to attack anyone refusing to support gays. Threatening them kuti he has protection around him atha kutukwana umo angathele palibe angamuchite kathu. So far ma gay akungopanga zomwe akufuna mdziko muno mwachisawawa akumapanga zosezi amabungwe a ma gay akuonelera. Not so long ago a woman refused to give him a lift komatu nzimayi anatukwanidwa za nkabudula. After that mkukamutukwanaso pa wall pake where he feels thats his battle field. Zozezi a human rights ali duuu watching him

  55. Am not tryng to say wat thy are doin’ its right but i don’t think anyone of us is calfyd to judge anothr human being, so lets God do his job plz….

  88. Arrest him because of prostituion?momwe mwammenyamu mwamulanga mukapitiriza ndi nkhanza zikomo kumpando

  89. don’t arest him, just buy petrol burn him or smack him with stones to death or bring him to my comunity so that we can sort him

  92. even mr Timoth Mtambo he don,t know wat he is fighting 4.he likes money but not knowing dat he is here on earth to save Lord.my advise 2 him must put down his tools & repent,life is 2 short.hapy valentine.

  94. It’s really strange that gay articles attract more comments than news about women abuse, child marriage, albino killings, poverty, etc.

  101. ma gay nonse mitumbo yanu!!!! tizipha mmodzi mmodzi

  102. Can you see the problem of these illuminants peope?.You give them rights but they are going beyond their rights and end up by abusing somebody’s right.Do they deserve to leave or die?.We gonna sort them out this is Malawi for real.

  108. if your dad was a gay and your mum was lesbo what right would you have to claim? devil at work thats the focal point even the devil himself is ashamed to habits of his followers .

  109. All gays must be arrested,the courts here in Malawi + the constituton of mw say so.only that it is abused by the top officials,so its all the gays kundende

  114. All the gays must be arrested and look now what Gonani has done what about if we can legalise gayism in our country? It will be worse!

  116. One of the more pressing issues for gay men is anal carcinoma (anal cancer).
    shigellosis and proctitis are both illnesses associated with gay bowel syndrome which may increase the chance of HIV infection. The term gay bowel syndrome angers homosexual activists as it associates homosexual acts with disease.

    Several recent studies have indicated the rate of anal dysplasia to be increasing in men with and without HIV. Ninety percent of men with HIV have the human papilomavirus (HPV), while 65% of men without HIV have HPV. HPV type 16 is the most troublesome for developing cancer and is found in a significant portion of gay men

  119. So thats ur trap huh………..if Govt intervenes and arrest the guy in topic for defilement…….u r the ones to report to donor community in a sour tone that Govt has arrested a gay man…………… Deal with it yourselves

  123. Akulamulira dziko lapansili ndisatana n satana ukamgwilira ntchito yake akumapereka pompo komanso zochuluka dziko lapansi nkumakutamanda kuti ulindizambiri palibe angakumake ndiwe bwana,,,koma ndikaonesetsa mapeto azonsezi ndichilango chosatha!!!

    Dzikoli likadakhala ngati ndilamunthu wamba ndimkwiyo wake bwenzi ataliotcha kale kale,,,,koma poti ndimlengi wachifundo mwachisomo chake ndichikhululukiro chosatha tilimdziko!!
    Koma kuti muonesese zonse zinalonjezedwa kutimoteyo zakwaniritsidwa!
    Alindinzeru achenjere!!!

  124. You said you want gay rights? What else now? Anything coming out of it, deal with it your selves. Mukamuuze Palmer azawanange, Ife takana!

  125. Sitidaonepo izi muutsogoleli oopa ambuye simukhala nyasi zotelezi Eli wa mu bible anaonongeka iyepamodzi ndiana ake cifukwa chokanika kuletsa zonyasa zomwe anaake analikucita asitikali athu ndi apolice ndiamphavu kukhazikitsa bata kt makhalidwe onyansa asapezeke mudzikolamalawi koma vuto zikayambila kuntunda basitu zotsatila ndizimenezi

  126. musamumange iyayi! sinanga ndizomwe mumafuna Mulungu akukusekani! iny even in the bible ana a Isriel akukalowa mu canaan anawauza kut osagonana ndi chinyama, mkazi akakhala ku period komaso osagonana ndi mamuna kapena mkazi nzako! its in clear contexts osatiso zozimbaitsa iyayi koma anyway masiku otsiliza amene anaononga sodom ndi gomola afika! !

  129. Why beating him and why should the government of malawi intervin in any issues concerning gay rights. As a citizen of malawi as far as i know malawi is a God fearing country and God never give a right to people of sodom and gomorah so why should malawi government support that sodomising act. If malawi government has to intervin it must arrest all members in that gay community because they dont have any right here in malawi to conduct that act of sodom

    6. Man Peter don’t cheat yourself and your friends that Malawi is God Fearing country. How and in what way? Do U mean other countries are not God Fearing? Ask even Zuma he is going to tell U that Malawians based in south Africa are dangerous criminals

    7. Well said but the part “Malawi is a God fearing nation” has no basis. May be it’s the individuals not Malawi, there is no evidence to support your assertion.

    8. Stevie Chindiwo nonsense, why those Malawians being dangerous criminals in RSA and not in Malawi? They are doing what the citizens of that country do…….

    10. Stevie Chindiwo u’r talking of sm malawians being criminals did u ever heard that malawi government is in support of that. Not at all in every nation criminals are there by the government never support the criminals even the constitution of malawi never give rights and fredom to criminals. If u talk on bible basis just try kill smone today if u can go free, try to commit uldetery, try to steal and see if u can go free

    13. God never said a man shall leave hs parent and unite wth a fellow man bt God said a man shall leave hs parents and a woman shall leave her mum and dad and the two (a man and a woman) become 1 fresh as husband and wife. Never did God gv gay and lesbian rights thts y God destroyed the two cities of sodom and Gomorah it was because of the same act

    1. Osabilasala pot ur not perfect nde ukakhala suripefect adakuuza kut timasapotela chonyansa pamaso pamlungu ?ngat yehova akuti zimamunyansa iwe ukuopa kuima poyela ?
