Bourse ya kaminuza ya leta kubantu bafite hagati yimyaka 18 na 35 iterwa inkunga na GALZ, umuryango w’abanyamuryango ba LGBTQ + muri Zimbabwe. Ishyirahamwe ryatangiye kuyitanga muri 2018 nta kibazo kibaye. Ariko amatangazo aheruka kumurongo atumira ibyifuzo byashimishije Visi Perezida Constantino Chiwenga, wiyita abagatolika bihaye Imana kandi wahoze ayobora ingabo.
Mu magambo akomeye cyane mu ijoro ryo ku wa kane, Chiwenga yavuze ko buruse ari “ikibazo kitaziguye” ku butegetsi bwa guverinoma.

Kimwe n’ibihugu byinshi bya Afurika, Zimbabwe ifite amategeko ahana ibikorwa byo kuryamana kw’abahuje igitsina. Imibonano mpuzabitsina hagati y’abagabo itanga igihano gishobora gufungwa umwaka umwe, kandi itegeko nshinga ry’igihugu ribuza gushyingiranwa kw’abahuje ibitsina.
Chiwenga yavuze ko amategeko ya Zimbabwe arwanya abaryamana bahuje ibitsina atuma “buruse (buruse) itanga ku buryo bumwe butemewe n’amategeko ndetse n’icyaha, ndetse no gutesha agaciro indangagaciro z’igihugu ndetse n’imyitwarire yacu nk’igihugu cya gikristo.”
