FormerPresident Canaan Banana was sentenced Mondayto 10 years in prison and fined more than $12,000 for convictions on sodomy charges. Nine years of the sentence were suspended. Banana’s lawyers vowedto appeal the fine and the jail time. The yearlong Banana trial has played to as rapt an audience in this southern African nation as Clinton’s sex scandal in the United States. The court- house was packed for Monday’s sentencing. Sodomyis illegal in Zimbabwe, and President Robert Mugabe has described gays as ‘lower than dogs and pigs.” Banana’s trial, and the resulting public discussion of homosexuality, played out as a taboobustingseries of headlines. Banana, a 62-year Methodist minister and the nation’s first postcolonial president, was convicted last fall of 11 counts of sodomy, attempted sodomy and indecent assault on charges related to his 1980-87 tenurein office. He is to serve 1 year at hard labor, High Court Judge Godfrey Chidyausiku ruled. The judge also ordered Bananato pay $6,000in restitution to Jefta Dube, a bodyguardhe was convicted of raping. He must payanother $6,000 to the family of a policeman that Dube killed after the policeman taunted him as ‘‘Banana’s wife.” Banana’s attorney Chris Andersen objected to the sentence and the fine. “My client is in ill health and must be treated with the respect due a formerheadofstate,” Andersen said. Prosecutor Augustine Chikumira shot back: “Mr. Banana’s actions were not conductedin the manner of a headofstate.” The usually jovial Banana did not speak during the hearing. He was remandedto his Harare home pending appeal to the nation’s Supreme Court. No date was set for that hearing. Speculationis high that Banana, though disgraced and disowned by Mugabe’s administration, will not serve jail time. Other wayward politicians have been granted presidential pardonsor lenient sentences. “We'll likely see the continued postponement of one issue or another, long appeals, and eventually the whole thing will die out,” said Lupi Mushayakarara, a columnist at the weekly Zimbabwean Independent newspaper. “This has been a very political case, as a way of humiliating Banana. Now that he’s been humiliated, they can forget about him.” baniancivilians indicated President Slobodan Milosevic waswill- ing to risk further international pressure in his campaign against rebels seeking independence from the main Yugoslavrepublic, Serbia. NATO's supreme commander, Gen. Wesley Clark, and German Gen. Klaus Naumann, planned to fly to the Yugoslav capital of Belgrade on Tuesdayto warn Milosevic he is facing military action unless he abides by the U.S. negotiated Oct. 12 deal that ended seven monthsof fighting. The generals were to have gone to Belgrade on Monday but delayed the visit after Yugoslav au- thorities said Milosevic was too busy to see them. “A strong message will be brought to President Milosevic about bringing those to justice who should be punished for this and coming into compliance with the agreements that he made,” White Housepress secretary Joe Lockhart said in Washington. Kosovo's Serb minority and Milosevic’s ultra-nationalist allies have been demanding the govern- meni crush the ethnic Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army. Tensions rose dramatically Saturday after international verifi- ers found the bodies of 45 ethnic Albanians, including three women and a 12-year-old boy, in a gully near the village of Racak (pronounced RAH-chak), 20 miles south of Pristina. The U.N. Security Council held an emergency meeting Monday to discuss the massacre. SALE *79 MEN’S & WOMEN’S 4-EYELET OXFORD Men's whole sizes 9-13M. Available in bark leather, black and peanut.
