TERTIARY education studentsa�� frank and rich knowledge of sex positions and their rejection of free condoms commonly known as a�?MaDeMbarea�? shocked Senators recently.

The Senators toured various institutions of Higher Education in the country last Tuesday and came face-to-face with reality they were not prepared to listen to.

a�?We were touched and pained that children of that particular age could be so knowledgeable on sex.A� We even have children who are not ashamed of specifically admitting that they indulge in sexual activities using a particular style so that they are paid $50 in front of dignitaries such as elders, a practice that is contrary to the dictates of our African culture,a�? said Senator Keresencia Chabuka.

But at the moment there are no known children at university level. On average a first year student is between 18 and 19 years of age. Still Chabuka insists that they are children who dona��t respect.

a�?Our children, because of lust ,are now doing this.A� They openly admitted that they will have unprotected sex,a�? said Sen Chabuka.

Senator Madeline Bhebhe speaking in parliament said that the students hate the sight of a�?DeMbarea�? condoms.

a�?The other thing that they highlighted which causes them to have unprotected sex is that the condoms given to them freely are not of good quality,a�? she said.

Sen Bhebhe said the students freely told them the reasons why they dated blessers (sugar daddies) while some among them opt for mainstream prostitution.

a�?They also indicated that they look for blessers. This shocked us as we are also parents and I asked myself that if other students at colleges are looking for blessers what more of our very own children?A� The Committee recommends that Government must assist and intervene in the way these students are living in these higher learning institutions,a�? said Sen Bhebhe.
