‘She does not back down’: the couple seeking to legalise same-sex marriage in Botswana

Botswana same-sex couple Bonolo Selelo and Tsholofelo Kumile have filed a legal challenge to the country's ban on same-sex marriage, with court hearings scheduled for July 2026. If successful, the case would make Botswana the second African country after South Africa to legalize same-sex marriage, though it faces strong opposition from the national government, traditional groups, and conservative Christian organizations, while receiving support from local LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.
