Cape
Town – In just a day following the passing of the controversial
anti-homosexuality bill in Uganda, a young man has come forward claiming to be
president Yoweri Museveni’s gay lover.
The 28
year old male model from Sea Point, Cape Town, has passed a series of
lie-detector tests with flying colors, this after a Ugandan law agency in South
Africa painted him as “an attention seeking lier who wants to ruin, discredit
and compromise the dignity and credibility of their president”.
Speaking
on condition of anonymity, the young man claims to have met the Ugandan
president one summer evening in Cape Town, where he was working as a waiter.
“I was
part of the hospitality team hosting presidential delegates at the Cape Town
International Convention Centre after the official opening of the national
parliament held earlier that day. Myself, and two more waiters were serving a
table where Yoweri and other dignitaries were seated for the evening,” the
young man said.
He
claims that after serving desserts, president Yoweri Museveni complimented him
on his impeccable waiting skills and said his upcoming hotel business could do
with a waiter like him.
“He gave
me his business card and insisted that I should send him my CV before he leaves
for Uganda, which I promptly forwarded the following morning. Hardly an hour
post emailing him my CV, I received a call from him requesting to meet me at
the One&Only hotel to discuss my job prospects at length.
“We met
at Vista bar which is situated inside the hotel, but we decided to go seat on
the patio. After a few drinks, he told me that he could see that I’m gay, and
that he liked me. To date, my job prospects were never discussed,” the young
man elaborated.
After one
too many drinks, the sexy male model claims that they decided to move the
meeting to president Yoweri Museveni’s hotel suite as the sea breeze was
getting a tad too cold. Upon their arrival, the horny president couldn’t keep
his hands to himself, and the two shared a night of passion.
The
young man claims that that was the beginning of a bling life, as the Ugandan
president would often bankroll him and frequently fly down to Cape Town to have
sex with him and shower him with expensive gifts.
Shockingly,
the young man was able to backup his allegations with hard-core proof; from
president Yoweri Museveni’s business cards, to private email communication
between the two and bank statements showing EFT payments, all confirmed to be
valid by a South African forensic unit.
Jetline
Auto Dealers have also confirmed the purchase of a black BMW Z4 by one Yoweri
Museveni, fitting the exact description of a sleek convertible the young man is
currently driving.
“I am
very disheartened to learn that he passed a bill that could see people like him
being jailed for life, grossly discriminated against and even murdered for
being who they are. I don’t understand why he did it, but can only assume that
he’s using it as a cover-up to hide who he truly is.
“Most
prominent politicians and business people use the same cheap tactics. They get
married and have kids as an umbrella, while having young boys as side-dishes.
But Yoweri has crossed the line.
“This is
such a low blow to me as his lover, and to the African gay community at large.
He’s not taking my calls and is ignoring my SMS’es and emails.
“If he’s
ok with seeing gay people rot in jail for choosing who they love, then the
police should start with him,” lamented the teary gay model.
Uganda’s
new anti-homosexuality law punishes gay sex with up to life in jail. The bill
originally proposed the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality”, defined
as repeated gay sex between consenting adults and acts involving a minor, a
disabled person or where one partner is infected with HIV. First-time offenders
also face life in jail.
The new
law also creates the offenses of “conspiracy to commit homosexuality” as well
as “aiding and abetting homosexuality,” both of which are punishable with a
seven-year jail term. Those convicted of “promoting homosexuality” face similar
punishment.
John
Kerry, US Secretary of State, stated that the signing of the anti-gay bill by
the Ugandan president marked a tragic day for Uganda and for all who care about
the cause of human rights. He warned that Washington could strongly consider
cutting aid to the government of this East African nation.
The Red
Pepper tabloid published the names and pictures of alleged homosexuals in a
front-page story under the headline: “EXPOSED!”
A prominent Ugandan gay activist, David Kato, was killed after that list came out, and activists said at the time that they believed he was targeted because of his work promoting gay rights in Uganda.
In
signing the bill, Museveni said the measure is needed because the West is
promoting homosexuality in Africa, rejecting international criticism of the law
as interference in Uganda’s internal affairs. Museveni accused “arrogant and
careless Western groups” of trying to recruit Ugandan children into
homosexuality.
