Promote Youth Skills




Lazarus Sauti

Organisation for Public Health Interventions and Development director Sara Page-Mtongwiza says enhancing youth leadership skills can play a crucial role in addressing challenges facing youth in Africa in the area of sexual and reproductive health.

Page-Mtongwiza told participants at a three-day African Youth Activists Network (AYAN) seminar that promoting youth skills would help strengthen the future of young Africans.

She said: “Enhancing youth leadership capacity skills is a critical catalyst in addressing problems facing young people in Africa in the area of sexual and reproductive health.

“The provision of platforms that enabled young people to sharpen their leadership skills would therefore help them to take charge and secure their future.”

Page-Mtongwiza said she is a passionate believer of the principles of sustainable development which is impossible without advancing the agenda of youth in countries within and across the great African continent.

Why the hell are men and women prepared to poison themselves for sex?

Lazarus Sauti Tim Marufu uses Congo dust, a sex enhancing drug from the Democratic Republic of Congo, to prolong his erection. He said the aphrodisiac, which is rubbed on the male organ, results in lengthy sex rounds. “ NeCongo dust unoanchor mudhara, unochimhanya (With Congo dust you can enjoy length sex sessions). “ Uyu mushonga wechikwapuro; ukangozora chete simbi yako inozhamba (This drug is powerful. If you properly apply it, your partner will cry in bed),” said Marufu, adding that “the powder prolongs an erection for up to an hour if applied correctly.” Explaining how Congo dust works, he says, “You just take a pinch and rub it at the tip of your organ at least three hours before being intimate.” During the process of an erection, he added, the penis enlarges and stiffens as a result of changes within muscles, nerves and blood vessels of the organ .

On top of that, she oftenly threatens and intimidates me, denies me sex and food as well as locks me out of the house,” he said. Svedhani added that his wife belittles his abilities and competencies, initiates name-calling insults, and silently treats him in addition to subverting his relationship with the children.

Are butt-fattening pills real?

In Zimbabwe, most women use Apetito tablets, illegal injections as well as chicken-fattening pills to acquire fake behinds. These illegal tablets as well as chicken-fattening pills are smuggled into the country from countries like India, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia. The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority asserts that an increase in seized contraband of butt-fattening pills shows amplified circulation of such drugs in the country.
