Mutare medical practitioner Dr Tendai Zuze also bemoaned how hookup vendors have resorted to using bread packets as protection.
Zuze revealed the health implications of using break packets and stated that bread packets are risky as it might not be strong enough to sustain the pressure of friction during intercourse, and can easily break and put the people involved at risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
iHarare also reported that sex workers at Dema growth point are now accepting buckets of maize and cups of beans as payment from their cash-strapped male clients.
She said she has three children, one of which is doing Form 4. The child needs ZIMSEC (Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council) registration fees while the other kids are in Grade 7 and Grade One.
One of the sex workers, who only identified herself as Alice said; “Gone are the days when we used to charge US$5 for the whole night. These days even one dollar is accepted, so that you are able to buy vegetables and tomatoes and cook something for your starving children.”
Alice added;
“I now even accept a bucket of maize or cups of dried beans as payment for sex services. At least I am assured that my kids will have porridge.”
However, they have appealed to the government and other organisations to assist them with low-interest loans to start income-generating projects to fend 4 their starving families as prostitution is the only means of livelihood.
