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?
