LGBTIQ await life defining Court decision

The community often referred to as the Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals of Botswana (LEGABIBO) has been fighting and tooth and nail for long to have and enjoy the rights accorded to the majority. As a minority group, the gay community has decried the constant ill-treatment it suffers at the hands of the majority being accessing health services or just going about life. With the High Court having given it hope in 2019 when some sections of the Constitution that criminalised same sex conduct were repealed, now its eyes are set on the hills of the highest court to make that life changing decision final.

The Court of Appeal (CoA) is expected to deliver the much anticipated judgment on the mater following the State’s appeal on Tuesday and put the matter to rest once and for all.
