President Canaan Banana

That's right.

Zimbabwe's first post-independence president, Canaan Banana, who was jailed for sodomy, died yesterday of an undisclosed illness.

Banana, 67, a former Methodist minister, was found guilty in 1999 of 11 counts of sodomy and abusing his power to sexually assault and carry out "unnatural acts" with men, most of whom were on his presidential staff.
