At the end of 2011, then Finance Minister Tendai Biti grabbed the headlines over the importation of second hand underwear leading to the banning of used knickers.
a�?I am told we are now even importing womena��s underwear in this countrya��How does that happen?
a�?If you are a husband and you see your wife buying underwear from the flea market, you would have faileda��If I was your in-law, I would take my daughter and urge you to first put your house in order if you still want her backa��a�? Biti was quoted as having said.
At least four years later Biti, now leader of another political party, Peoplea��s Democratic Party, finds himself arguing over underwear again.
Biti had a public spat with Stunner on social media over a lingerie party that Stunner is holding on Thursday at Private Lounge in the capital.
The politician questioned the sanity of having a party themed a�?lingerie partya�? in an environment where people were struggling and Stunner hit back at him on social networking site Twitter.
Bitia��s tweet read: a�?Is this for real? With all the pain and suffering of our people such bohemian dross still happeninga�?, in reference to the much hyped lingerie party that will feature the countrya��s erotic dancers Beverly Sibanda and Zoey Sifelani.
Stunner challenged Biti saying he was dragging himself into petty a�?underweara�� issues neglecting to comment on the positives that the rapper had done in the past.
Organisers of the potentially explosive party said they were unfazed with Bitia��s sentiments and the party was going on as planned.
a�?We are not moved with Mr Bitia��s outbursts; he is a citizen who is entitled to his own opinions. We urge party lovers to come in numbers as Zoey and Bev are more than prepared to thrill,a�? said the organisers.
The party will see ladies exhibiting different lingerie befitting summer and the host Stunner will also drop songs from his latest album If I die tonight. showbiz.co.zw
