Zimbabweans sex workers have invaded the country masquerading as cross-border traders selling a variety of merchandise.
At night, however, the women shift from being respectable business persons to sex workers parading in the streets of Lusaka townships and patronising lodges and guest houses.
The Zimbabwean sex workers have particularly found a haven in Chawama and Kuku townships where they lodge at two guest houses commonly known as Katete and Bulawayo.
Residents of the two townships said men from Chawama, Kuku and other parts of Lusaka had been flocking to these guest houses in a bid to have a good time with the Zimbabwean sex workers.Many of these sex workers prefer Chawama which for them has become more like a gold mine because men there prefer the Zimbabwean prostitutes to their Zambian counterparts.
A Zambian sex worker, Judith Mwila of Chawama, who has been in the business for years, said many men no longer went for locals, claiming that Zimbabwean sex workers were ‘more active and sweet in bed’.
Ms Mwila said the other unfortunate thing was that the Zambian sex workers had lost business to their Zimbabwean counterparts who had proved to be extremely cheap.
An undercover survey by the Sunday Times found that while Zambian sex workers were charging at least K50 per session, Zimbabweans were charging as low as K15.
Incidentally, this illicit business is not only conducted at the so-called Katete and Bulawayo lodges but exists in other townships as well such as Chibolya, Kanyama, Garden and Chaisa.
Zimbabwean sex workers can be found in these other townships selling their bodies cheaply, and this has compelled more and more Zambian men to prefer them to their Zambian counterparts.
Ms Mwila called on the law-enforcement officers to ensure that foreign female visitors in particular had legal documentation because many of these were sex workers were making the lives of Zambian prostitutes difficult by pushing them out of ‘business’.
“I am urging the Immigration Department to move in and check if these people have legal documents to be in the country because they are making our lives hard,” Ms Mwila said.
Another resident, Henry Ngoma, called on Lusaka City Council to move in and close ‘Katete’ and ‘Bulawayo’ lodges in particular, which he
said had been turned into brothels similar to what previously were
known as ‘midadadada’.
Mr Ngoma said the issue was getting out of hand because even young men were flocking to the two brothels because there services were affordable.
“It is outrageous because boys are also flocking to these brothels and paying for cheap sex,” Mr Ngoma said.
“I am hereby urging the council and other relevant authorities to ensure that they close them down.”
Immigration public relations manager Namati Nshinka said some of these women may have valid documents although they ended up doing something else.
The Immigration Department had in the recent past conducted operations to remove sex workers from Chawama.
Mr Nshinka said the department would soon carry out another raid and clear sex workers that might have returned to the township.
He was aware of sex workers that were operating at ‘Katete’ and ‘Bulawayo’ and warned the owners of the two places that they risked being closed down.
“We are going to carry out an operation to remove and deport all the sex workers operating at the named brothels,” he said.

A certain rabid mongrel will be here barking “This is PF’s fault, vote UPND and Zambians Sex Workers will be making more than the K50. We in UNPD believe in sex. Vote wisely in 2016”
Politics Of Shrek!
Fools are always fools no matter how much u clean them. what is UPND about this topic? Other wise yes, its PF making that these Zambian ladies can’t find decent jobs. True to your word.
Get lost. Isn’t it your hero who links everything to politics?
kiki mune do not take things to heart. no need being frustrated. frustration and stress can lead to unwanted heart attacks.
Vote for UPND, keep on voting for UPND. That way your frustrations will disappear.
Hello Haters, NEZ is a man and your obsession with him and his nonsense could be the reason you are a faggot and then imagine everyone else is that filthy. You are far below my class, muppet!
Simply a case of failure and lack of capacity by local authorities to regulate lodges and other establishments. Also the immigration department seems to be lacking in technoligical infrastructure to aid with the regulation of immigrants and visa rule adherence. In a normal society foreigners found wanting by breaching the law are autmoatically liable for deportation. However, yet again our friends in the PF seem to lack any knowledge or capacity to enforce such things.
Its no wonder hh hates ur sorry ass mune,bkoz of such,to u evrythin is pf’s fault even when u fail to hav an erection,u blame it on pf
mmmmmmm! na cabbage yakosapo umutengo.

Prostitution is the oldest profession on earth.All other professions rank after it. You can like it in the Red District in Belgium.Its open 24/7.
Kula tombanafye,chikulu condom ili kubukala..
I forsee xynophobic attacks on these Zim women by Zambian prstitutes for stealling business from them

oh you actually have a brain? Did it just appear today because if going by the last few months I have been here you have been a total ignorant bigot
Leave Zimbabwian girls alone. Zambian women are expensive we badly need their services as they are both beautiful and know their job better.
Prostitution is one of the earliest trades and for one to suggest eliminating it, is day dreaming. Yes, you may think it wise to close someone’s business house, but can assure you of failure to contain this mischief. These acts are not taking place at two named places only, but many other places/ houses. We should not hide behind the Christian veil but legalize so councils can make money through registration and medical checkup fees. The choice should be individual whether to participate or not. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON MY SUGGESTION?
tiye uko chikala justifying bullshit..
pressure for upnd.they ar stupd
LEAVE THEM ALONE.THEY’LL BE JUDGED FOR THEIR DEEDS.GOOD REWARDS AWAITS THEM.
wasosa mune. I cannot even add anything more this powerful comment. Please keept it up and keep things this way. let us show these people what we are made of. Good evening.
You are worse than the faggot you are. Always trying to please NEZ. He is not gay, you are wasting your time. He maybe insane but definitely not a faggot.
Imwe bapushi!! Who told you phucking whores (Zim or Christchurch) is an economic phenomanon?? Swines! Does it count in ZMK or US$ or Kroner for Kakubo to fulamina Hakainde? or a nameless hole to bend over for a drunk in a pit latrine at a shebeen?
Issue here is these prostitutes troupe to Zed to avoid extinction. Zim is under an iron hand that once boomed bcoz ka color ka white managed the economy but they decided to hound it out sound economics fit fo Chifita mis-management. Tonse tu ma Apples, Butter from those animals in large numbers were razed to the stomach. Now in the guise of selling sweets these women also sell their sweet selves.Now the local hav cries foul for perking charges of their bodies on the moon. Tasintha and other prog were steps of empowerment but administrators either pocketed the NGO funds and no longer made sense to belong..offloaded back onto the streets bcoz they opt for soft fast bucks..And the men?? Value for money’s worth..mutototo – uuum I wonder Wat rough rides these sex providers undergo for K15.
In any case,how far does K15 take u on a minibus to do your business and back to yo squalid ramshackle called homes, am never a fan of abject poverty that makes individual reduce themselves to objects of pleasure. Surely, fast money is also a fast way to exist into extinction through the dreaded virus. It surely is mutating and a rebound will be a catastrophe for us poor countries that barely meet 3 square balanced meals..uuuum anizibi koluya bakwetu!!!!
Some time back we had the Ndumbas from a neighboring country that frequented the Copper-belt at that time very little was known of Hiv and, Good Lord, these gorgeous creatures ravaged the bulls and reduced most of the famous bands to strands..b4 anybody knew it the tables turned..there was captivating music blanketing the spread.Our economy was ‘powerful’. Now our own music has taken over and see less of these Ndumbas but the game is still on with another breed from south wards. We have learnt to listen to own music and can still do more by embracing turn around activities for economic emancipation!! When will we ever learn.Tate, lulukulule !
This new educated Zambian makes too much sense
Senseless!
In your head???
There have been there since the 90s. You guys have only noticed them now
