Lesbians from renowned gay’s activist have accused self-confessed lesbian of masquerading as representative of LGBTI in Zambia.
The accused identified as Juliet Mpande, an executive director for friends of Rainke has been going round international corridors and government department soliciting for help and information in the pretext of representing LIGBTI communities in Zambia.
The source said Ms. Mphande has never been appointed by any one of the human right groupings that has up in the open to defend gay person in Zambia.
“I wish to categorically state that at no time does the human right activist it own to appoint Ms. Mpande to be our representative no to discuss anything related to LIGBTI community in Zambia. Whatever she has been doing is all lies. She is representing herself,” the source said.
Adding that: whatever the problem, Ms. Mpande has been getting from unsuspecting stakeholders goes toward her unregistered organization and herself.
The source said each time her organization has been called upon to discuss the matter, she is always full of excuses.
However the source was quick to say, the few times Ms Mpande agreed to attend the meetings, has exhibited I know it all attitude.
The source has since appealed to LGBTI Communities living in isolation to be wary of what they say to Ms Mpande for she is just .a con artist.
“Our problem with Ms Mpande has nothing to do with funds, but othe rights of LGBTI rights at stake. If people like Mpande could go on to cash in the pretext o protecting the vulnerable people in society is unfortunate,” the source said while appealing to stakeholders not to entertain the ideas of ms Mpande.
