Harare - President Robert Mugabe renewed his attack on homosexuals yesterday, likening gays to "beasts" and calling on his people to hound them.

"If you see people in your areas behaving like homosexuals, arrest them and take them to the police," Mr Mugabe said. The President added that homosexuals were "reduced to the status of beasts. If dogs and pigs don't do it, why must human beings?" AP
