Tanzanian Govt. on Saturday, February 18, 2017, announced plans to publish a list of gay people allegedly selling sex online. This comes just days after the government shut down dozens of AIDS clinics accused of promoting homosexuality.

Once arrested, they will help us find others.' Kigwangalla wrote.Under the Tanzanian penal code, sex between two males is highly punishable, ranging from 30 years to life imprisonment.He has since come under fire on Twitter by Gay and pro-gay commenters, but he maintained his stance.
