Head of Living Waters Church in Malawi, Apostle Stanley Ndovi  told his congregation homosexuality is demonic.

“Biblically it is demonic,” Apostle Ndovi said.

“It is wrong and these people should be counselled and helped,” Sky News quoted him.

“In the West you have allowed homosexuality and it has spread,” pastor Ndovi said.

Debete on homosexuality in Malawi is growing following the arrest of  two men, Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza who publicly celebrated their gay marriage.

The two who are being prosecuted by the state for “gross indecency” charges are on remand at Chichir prison since arrest last year, December and they were denied bail by a Magistarte Court.

But their lawyer, Mauya Msuku said they made an application for bail at the High Court before Justice Rowland Mbvundula on Monday.

“The High Court will rule on the bail application on Thursday,” said Msuku.

Meanwhile, members of the British parliament have signed a motion that condemns the arrest of two gay men and calls for Malawi to decriminalize homosexuality.

Information Minister Leckford Mwanza dismissed international criticism of the case, saying the gay lovers clearly are lawbreakers and suggesting that Malawi does not want unsolicited advice on handling its internal affairs.
