The video shows two women hugging and kissing one another while dancing together, at what appears to be an engagement party. A number of people can be seen taking pictures and recording them. It was shared widely on social media and generated much discussion.
The majority of the discussion, however, was disapproving, with many accusing the women of engaging in “anti-Tanzanian cultural practice”.
A member of Tanzania’s opposition party shared the clip on his Twitter account and called for action to be taken against the women by the home affairs minister and police.
A local newspaper has reported that police in the north western town of Geita have taken one of the women into custody for questioning for “illegal practices”.
Homosexuality is a crime in the east African nation, punishable by up to 30 years in jail, with homophobic sentiments still high among people.

@ Joe Crazy you are really crazy.You really deserve your name.Tell me if you hit an armed robber with the same piece of wood and he dies.Would the person be charged for murder?Is it a crime in our constitution?If yes don't bring your so called human rights issues here.It is not acceptable here.Looks like you are one of them.Here this If the Kitchen is too hot for you Massa go out of Africa to where it is practiced.You will not have peace here in Africa because our culture and the constitution does not allow that.Even dogs do not do this.
OK lets discuss this: what do you think would have happened if someone had taken a piece of wood and hit them on their head and this action had resulted in the death of one of them. Would the person be charged for murder? if Not, why not? If yes, it goes to show that such people enjoy the fundamental human right as anyone else so they are free to do whatever they choose to do. Think about it.
