Why they were colonized?
After the industrial revolution Britain wanted to extend
their power as they wanted to find new trade routes and resources.
The British had control of the Cape and needed a way to send raw
materials that were discovered in Africa back to England to be
manufactured. Since Zimbabwe is close to the center of Africa
it was the ideal place to build a railway which could be used to transport
diamonds and minerals found in Africa back to England. As a result
of a short war in 1893 the land which belonged to the Ndebele people
became British land. Therefore, when news spread about the gold and
diamonds discovered in Zimbabwe lots of British men moved to
Zimbabwe in hope of becoming rich. The native people of Rhodesia
were forced to become cheap labourers/slaves for the British miners.
Homosexuality is illegal in Zimbabwe and same-sex marriage was explicitly forbidden by Zimbabwe’s 2013 constitution. There is however a small group of underground (illegal) gay scenes in the capital city Harare and prosecutions for the crime of homosexuality remain rare. The majority of homosexuals in Zimbabwe remain in the closet due to fear of discrimination or they immigrate to south Africa were homosexuality has been legal since 1994. The former president of Zimbabwe since 1980 has actively carried out actions against LGBT people and spoken out in public against homosexuality. Therefore, when Robert Mugabe was removed from power in 2017 many LGBT activists hoped that Zimbabwe’s views and laws about homosexuality would change however there has been no change as of yet and homosexuals in Zimbabwe continue to be discriminated against and hide their sexuality.
