A lot of women in Zambia have developed a high maid dependence syndrome,says Namatama Muntanga.
In an interview with Post Newspaper,Muntanga who runs Taniks maids Training center, says many women nowadays expect maids to do everything for them.
“wives should not leave everything in the house in the hands of the maids and be comfortable with that.A wife has to be a homemaker because you never know what peoples intentions are.A man and a woman should play an active role in a house in order to help the children grow well,”she notes.
“I believe that maids should mostly wash households stuff and not underwear of their bosses.we are women and we should perform roles of both wife and mother.Now if a maid is washing her boss’s underwear,what example is a mother sending to the children especially the girls?little girls need to learn from their mothers on how to take care of a home,”explains Muntanga.
She says her training center advises maids to politely tell their bosses that things like underwear should not be washed by them.
“Even our culture teaches us to wash our husbands underwear and it is not even because of belief that the maid can use it to steal you husband .It is just not hygienic and it is very embarrassing.many maids complain and this has to come to an end,”Muntanga said

It is wrong to give your maid your husbands underwear to wash. Some women even let their maids wash their panties. The problem we have is that these women think that’s being classy but they just show their ignorance. They actually even talk about it to their friends that they do not do any washing in the home.

a maid is hired to do common chores,anythin thats private to a husband & wife shud remain private.a pant is a private cloth for a husband,y shud a maid b previewed to such?its bein lazy as a wife.maids shud be restricted to cookin 4 children,sweepin house.allow the maid 2 cook then sh may add medix to lure the hubby or hubby wil fall in lov wit her cookin then wateva wife cooks wil become nonsense. Some maids ar single & eye married men so careful.dressin as well shud b regulated,maid in mini skirt shitata bwaima auma double cross cut apita lushenshi aikata maid pa lunch wen madam is at work pooo.who do u blame.Wives protect yo marriages !!!

All in all, it’s not in order for a maid to wash her bosses’ undies. We are African that’s a fact, we can’t run away from our roots.

There’s no mystery about underwear. Uku fikosha! Anyone, the maid, me, my husband can throw the laundry in the washing machine – it doesn’t affect our wedding vows. Women, you married the wrong guys.

That’s why there are so many divorces nowadays. People want to imitate white people. Guys intambi nintambi. Get married and let you hubby wash his underwear we see if your marriage will last. Infact a husband can also wash panties for the wife especially if the wife is unwell. Ala marriages have lasted for a reason. No wonder some men font eat in the if homes because of this attitude of leaving everything to the main.

Thats why i wouldn’t marry a poor black man, too much suffering…
I pity women who feel obliged to do their husbands laundry if he doesn’t return the same favour once in a while. Marriage is not slavery. Bamakaka

Why do people marry?
What is the role of a man and of a woman in today’s marriages?
I find single life more satisfying that this life of tag-of-all.
Marriages of today are nothing a single person should admire. There is more joy especially to a guy when single.

True story: My lady knew I love a cup of coffee. She relegated her r ugly relative to be making me coffee every evening before she went to bed. I loved that coffee. 1day, the kagirl was unwell & the wife brewed some, IYEE!! Kwati yalunkoto! When the girl got better, I cerebrated with her!! Found out it was NOT only coffee she was better at ….

THE ONE WHO IS WASHING A MAN’S UNDERWEAR IS THE ONE WHO’S CLOSER TO THE MAN’S D!CK. SO, THE MAID WILL FIRST START IMAGINING HOW THE BOSS’S D!CK IS LINED IN THE PANT AND THEN EVENTUALLY, HOW IT CANE LINE HER VAG!NA AND THE NEXT STEP SHE WILL PURSUE IS FOR THE READERS’ IMAGINATION.

In the first place, it’s very unhygienic to keep dirty undies; Every time I bath I wash my underwear. If Muntanga is washing her husband’s undies, then she has a dirty husband.
