Sudi Sulaimana gives Steven Monjeza K100, 000

Former Zomba City Parliamentary aspirant, Sudi Sulaimana, yesterday (Tuesday) gave Steven Monjeza K100,000 as a start up package for his family, a week after the pardoned gay announced his decision to marry a Blantyre-based lady, Dorothy Gulo.
Monjeza was pardoned by President Bingu wa Mutharika alongside Tiwonge Chimbalanga. The two became the first Malawians to be convicted and sentenced to 14 years inprisonment with hard labour on charges of gross indecency and having sex against the order of nature.
Monjeza then surprised the world when he announced that he had changed his mind over the relationship with Chimbalanga, and would now share the rest of his life with Gulo.
The decision angered Chimbalanga, who accused Monjeza of trying to 'break my heart, because he knows that we were in real love'.
Sulaimana told Zachimalawi when he presented the K100, 000 he dicided to help out because he was pleased with Monjeza's decision to abandon "evil, and seek out the best thing in the world: a wife".
"I am happy that Monjeza realised that homosexuality was not the best way of going on with life, and has decided to find a 'real' partner in life. It is a good decision he has made," said Sulaimana.
He added: "Actually, I realised that he (Monjeza) has been going through hardships in terms of finances, and (I) felt that the best way to help them start their family is to give them some cash. I am really happy for them (Monjeza and Dorothy)," said Sulaimana.
Since their pardoning some three weeks ago, Chimbalanga and Monjeza have been living in separate places; Chimbalanga in Lilongwe with some well-wishers while Monjeza has been staying in Blantyre, left to fend for himself.
In an interview, Monjeza expressed his disappointment with the treatment people have been according Chimbalanga, saying, of the two, he is the one who has been going through thick and thin.
"But I am happy, anyway, that people have started coming out to help. It will really give me a heady start in marriage with Dorothy. People should know that I am now in love, and will not abandon Dorothy. We are in it forever," said Monjeza.
He asked other people to follow suit.
