JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA (ADV) -A Zambia youths organisation has castigated Kafue Town Council (KTC) for allowing the ballooning and freely operation of brothels.
Zambia is experiencing the growth of brothels and this has come as a concern to some young people.
“You can’t tell me that KTC isn’t aware that some of these apartments are no longer lodges but brothels, sex workers have invaded Kafue like army worms in our maize fields,” said Youths of Influence Executive Director Moses Daka who questioned why Kafue Town council is allowing well known brothels to operate in the district?
“We appeal to KTC to move in and close these sex dens with the same vigour they use to apprehended people who vend in streets and close shops without licenses.”
Media reports quoted Daka lamenting that efforts being made by various stakeholders in combating HIV/AIDS risk yielding nothing for as long as brothels are allowed to operate freely in Kafue.
He further noted that allowing brothels to operate freely is a major contributing factor to the high HIV preference rate in Kafue.
Daka also urged the council to engage the Zambia Police and carry out an operation in order to bring sanity in the district.
