Members of the Evangelical Fellowship Botswana (EFB) marched to Parliament grounds on Saturday morning to represent a petition against implementation of the Amendment of Penal Code Bill No.29 of 2022.

This comes after the Christian community under EFB made it public at a press conference held in Gaborone that its members were strongly against homosexual practices.
