a�?Think of an inyanga at a strip club?a�?

A traditional healer on Friday last week made a surprise appearance at the newly opened premium adult entertainment joint, Private Lounge.

Johannes Msipa, (76) who claimed to be a traditional healer by profession came all the way from Nyamandlovu to grace the citya��s entertainment place of the moment at their ZITF stand where they were exhibiting at the just ended Sanganai/Hlanganani Tourism Expo.

a�?I read in the press that Private Lounge will be exhibiting here at ZITF and I exploited the opportunity to come and see what is really happening here,a�? Msipa said.

Msipa made a grand entrance at the joint, clad in his traditional clothes and head gear before requestingA� for opaque beer from the bar ladies. Unfortunately, it was not available. He then opted for a whisky as he mixed and mingled with the youthful patrons.

He spoke highly of the entertainment provided by the joint praising the strippers for their creativity in the arts industry.

a�?Dancing is an Art. Entertaining people with your dances means you are innovative and creative. This is really good.

As traditional leaders or elders we can say what they are doing is wrong but that will not change anything because the times have changed,a�? explained Msipa in IsiNdebele.

He further said that it was high time society accepted the changes happening in the world nowadays.

He revealed what was a taboo long ago was no longer so in the current world and the children should be accorded their freedom of choice as enshrined in the constitution.

a�?When we were growing up it was a taboo to see someonea��s nakedness but not nowadays. Children are allowed to do whatever they want as long as it will be their choices.

a�?If we stop them from doing what they want, we will be infringing on their rights which will be very wrong.A� Let them do as they please ita��s their time. Dancing is an art, so there is really nothing wrong with the strippers. If you dona��t want to see them, just do the simple thing, do not go there,a�? Msipa explained.

The Zimbabwe Tourism Authority endorsed Private Lounge as one of the best entertainment joints in the country at the just ended Sanganai/Hlanganani World Tourism Expo held in Bulawayo last week.
