Zimbabwe: Zimbabwean withdraws from Mr Gay World 2012

Zimbabwe will no longer be represented in this year’s Mr Gay World after the man who intended to compete finally withdrew from the contest. Taurai Zhanje, who last week was verbally attacked by many from his local community, pulled out of the contest citing personal reasons.The 'Mr Gay World' Director for Africa, Coenie Kukkuk said: 'We are sad to loose Taurai, but in Africa, the personal sacrifice for gay and human rights is sometimes too much to expect from people.'
