He was joined by several subscribers of the social network and some dubbed homosexuality as "portent".  Some of these (subscribers) were against Ndadi and BONELA for being pro-gay.  However, some said the constitution of Botswana must be amended so that it caters for all social groups and individuals.

Ndadi and his organisation recently circulated a statement entitled "The Reasons Why Botswana Cannot Achieve Zero New HIV Infections," at an HIV/AIDS gathering at which representatives of foreign countries were invited.  The statement advocated for gay rights, condom distribution in prisons and legalising of prostitution.
