Two arrested as police uncover 1,000-member gay WhatsApp group
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has uncovered a WhatsApp group in Harare named “Private Lounge,” which is allegedly being used to promote gay relationships, with over 1,000 members involved.
The discovery came after the arrest of a 25-year-old man from Highfield and a teenage boy, suspected of being involved in a same-sex relationship. The man, who works at a local supermarket, and the teenage boy, a Form Four student from Glen Norah B Extension, were reportedly connected through the group.
According to police investigations, the teenage boy joined the group in January 2024, where he introduced himself and expressed interest in finding a partner. It is alleged that the 25-year-old man, already a member of the group, reached out to the teenager, and they arranged to meet at Machipisa Shopping Centre.
The case has sparked attention amid Zimbabwe’s conservative stance on LGBTQ+ issues, with authorities continuing their probe into the group and its members.
