Malawi to overturn homosexual ban, Joyce Banda says
President Joyce Banda has said Malawi will overturn its ban on homosexual acts - the first African country to do so since 1994.
Two Malawian men were sentenced to 14 years in prison in 2010 after saying they were getting married.
Several Western leaders have recently said they would cut aid to countries which did not recognise gay rights.
