The court’s ruling in June, which was praised by international organisations and activists, meant Botswana joined a handful of African countries that have legalised same sex relationships.
“I am of the view that the High Court erred in arriving at this conclusion and thus, I have decided to note an appeal with the Court of Appeal,” said Keetshabe without giving further details on the grounds for the appeal. The case, which had been brought by a university student, Letsweletse Motshidiemang argued the government should do away with the law in light of a changed society where homosexuality was more widely accepted.
Botswana’s ruling came after Kenya’s high court upheld its law banning gay sex, keeping same sex relations punishable by 14 years in jail, drawing strong criticism from the United Nations and rights activists.
