The homophobic hate speech case against South Africa’s former ambassador to Uganda, Jon Qwelane, is expected to continue in the High Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday. In July 2008, the Sunday Sun published a column by Qwelane titled “Call me names, but gay is not okay”. On Monday, the court heard that the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) received 350 complaints against Qwelane about his column – the highest number it had ever received. In his column – which was accompanied by a cartoon of a man marrying a goat – Qwelane lauded Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s “unflinching and unapologetic stance” stance on homosexuality. Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, for the SAHRC, told the court that when Qwelane compared human beings to animals, he was dehumanising them. “One must take into account that this dehumanisation has the distinct possibility of justifying physical harm and physical violence against gays and lesbians,” Ngcukaitobi said. Qwelane could not attend the hearing

According to report by Vanguard, The family of disqualified Big Brother Naija housemate, Kemen, have registered their utmost displeasure and discontentment on his disqualification from the ongoing reality TV show. Kemen, who was disqualified and asked to leave the Big Brother house immediately as a result of breaking the statutory rules of the game by making sexual advances at fellow housemate, Tboss, while she was asleep without her consent, has left the Big Brother house. According to a source close to the family, they are displeased with the level of punishment Big Brother meted out on Kemen, arguing that it has tarnished the image and dignity of Kemen, making Nigerians begin to see him as a perverted rapist.

Tukur Buratai, chief of army staff, has told those agitating for an independent state to “forget it.” Of the groups clamouring for sovereignty, the campaigns of Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) are the most pronounced. They have even had the cause to clash with security agents. Speaking in Abuja after receiving an award conferred on him by a coalition of over 80 civil society organisations (CSOs), Buratai said the army would not condone any act that would disintegrate the country. He also promised that insurgency would soon be a thing of the past. “Those individuals and groups that are bent on distablising our country I think they have to wait till may be the next three or four millennium for them to do that. That is if may be the next generation of officers and men will allow them at all,” he said. “Having been given the millennium hero award, I want to call on all the agitators for sep

President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order on immigration, placing a 90-day ban on people from six mainly Muslim nations. Iraq has been removed from the list of countries contained in the previous seven-nation order. Citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen are the ones who would be subjected to a travel ban for the second time. The measure, which includes a 120-day ban on all refugees, takes effect on March 16. “Like every nation, the United States has a right to control who enters our country and to keep out those who would do us harm,” Trump said. Trump previously signed an order that banned citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the US, saying that it was necessary to keep the country safe from terrorism. The order, which resulted in chaos and mass protests, was suspended after a court order. Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s senior aide, had earlier told BBC quoted that Iraq will not be included in the list of countries whos

Speaker of Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Onofiok Luke, has reacted to Akwa Ibom indigene, Kemen’s, disqualification via his official Facebook page. He, however, said when you are in the spotlight in his town, you need serious prayer to continue thriving. He wrote; “I have never really watched the big brother Nigeria, I only follow it activities on the social media. Up until this evening Kemen our son was celebrated online by fans and followers of BBN from our very Akwa Ibom but suddenly, a breaking news of his disqualification from the house and the whole narrative changed and the social Media is now saturated with different stories and versions about Kemen and his disqualification. Many who before now had celebrated Kemen are in a hurry to crucify him for his mistake(s). My take here is not to hold brief for Kemen and whatever he might have done to merit his disqualification( which I am yet to know) but to reflect on how difficult it is to be in the spotlight in our
