What has happened to ZIM culture?
BY TINASHE TIRIVAVI
Publicly discussing sex
has been a taboo in Africa particularly in Zimbabwe. This however, took a sad turn
when there was an increase in the leaking of sex videos and nude pics
especially in the country’s universities.
What has happened to our
culture? One would wonder. This has raised an alarm amongst the general
community and drove this writer to look into the issue.
One of the students
(name withheld) who had her sex video leaked on WhatsApp recently said the
living conditions at universities subject them to illicit activities like
prostitution and drug abuse which in turn put them in shame.
“University life is not easy, at times we
indulge in prostitution, taken images whilst naked only to please our male
counterparts and this eventually ruins,” she said.
“I have no idea how my
video leaked and when it was taken it was only meant for my ex-friend,” she
added.
Prosper Mudavanhu a Women
activist said the nation should stop victimizing the woman when a tape or image
leaks but should also take into consideration she was not alone on the video.
He also said there is
need to put in place stiff penalties for the man who leak the videos and
pictures.
The recently crowned Miss
World Zimbabwe Emily Kachote’s nude pictures leaked and now she’s on the verge
of losing her crown.
One analyst asked why
release the pictures now that she has won?
The question remains
what has happened to the Zimbabwean culture? The culture of keep sex issues to
the married people and keeping the issues in bedrooms. What should we do as
Zimbabweans to curb this issues?
