A young gay couple in Zimbabwe inadvertently got themselves arrested when one called the police on the other over a money dispute. The two men – one aged 28 and the other 25 – appeared before the Harare Magistrates’ Court on charges of sodomy after the dispute led to an unexpected disclosure of their relationship. Homosexual activity is illegal in Zimbabwe. The young men face up to 14 years in prison plus associated fines if they’re found guilty. According to prosecutors, the couple began a romantic relationship in August 2023, when they moved in together and are alleged to have engaged in consensual same-sex relations. Investigators discovered video of the men engaged in sexual activity with one another taken with their mobile phones.
