Wow ,brothels in Kitwe to prove our national values as a fake “Christian nation”
Zambia is a Christian country period! What makes you think that a few bad eggs represent the whole country? Prostitution is in every country.
Check out the Chinese bar in Ndola just opposite facing Jacaranda Mall. This is all I can say for now.
Are there any licenced brothels in Zambia
Why using threats! This is illegal and they should be shut down and fine them too. Even people who own brothels abroad have to get licences and those people involved have to be screened for HIV/AIDS. Where alcohol is served is no place for prostitution. It’s that simple. Get the police to go undercover and then raid the place/places! Stop wasting time with threats to go no where!!
Residents can only help so much, particularly in these neighbourhoods. The best the authorities can do is use surveillance and undercover agents, that way they can come up with evidence that can stand even in court. In the neighbourhoods where this is happening, people will do anything to survive, bar owners too.
We need to address this issue holistically. Are we fighting prostitution or the running of premises where prostitution takes place. We have the so called brothels, lodges, guest houses, motels and hotels all potential places for prostitution. Is it because brothels are not registered and therefore the state isn’t collecting what’s due to it or its the issue of morality cause of what’s happening there. If its the issue of morality (prostitution) then the grip has to be applied to the rest of the places where fornication can take place otherwise we will not only be promoting businesses to the lodges and the hotels but encouraging prostitution to those with cash and the elite. What happens at brothels happen at 5 star hotels daily. Brothels promote prostitution at grass root level, period.
Agreed. All living things make love. It cannot be eradicated. It reminds me of a song by Clarence Carter, Making love at the dark end of the street. It goes like this: Have you ever sit down to think about, Everything that’s has got life in it likes to make love, Why horses like to make love, Cows like to make love, And mosquitoes like to make love, And human beings like to make love, But now it is one thing about them horses, cows, mosquitoes and things, When they get ready to make love don’t care where they at , They make love right there, But now we human beings, We just a bit different from them (making love is made in planes, boats, back seat of cars etc) But according to him “One of the best places I know is at the dark end of the street”.
But in Mufulira when I was growing up the most popular place for making love was kulunsonga hedge at night. Are lunsonga hedges still existing in Mufulira?
Our country is now rotten. We have the highest number of lodges per capita in the region and 95% of what we call lodges are in fact brothels in a way. How many sexually active women in Zambia have not been dragged into a 30minutes quickie in a lodge. 95% of our married sisters with glittering gold rings on their fingers get dragged in there by their boyfriends while the bwanas aren’t watching or at work. Its so rotten, so sad.
