The economy has left many people jobless and most families
are finding it hard to sustain themselves.
Most people are now diverting into other ways just to have a meal on
their tables.
A visit to Private Lounge will prove to you how hard things
are in the country. Young girls are stripping until they are in their birthday
suits because they are in need of money since there are no jobs.
Two of the strippers are girls from Bulawayo aged 21 and 20
respectively. These young women migrated from Bulawayo to Harare in search of
greener pastures in the city of Sunshine.
Life in Harare is not that rosy like what most people out of the town
think. The two had to join the strippers
community because it is the only way one can make money in the city.
Firstly they used to strip at the Airport Lounge but it
closed down now they are at Private Lounge where there is a lot of
competition. Sometimes they do not get
to strip which means they are not pocketing any money home. This leads to the
young women selling their bodies in the club just to pocket money.
According to the two, it’s a stiff competition and it needs
one to be clever and strong because you won’t be able to make money if you are
dull and weak willed. After stripping these women make sure that they get hired
as prostitutes as the money they get there is peanuts.
However, some people think these women are hiding behind the
fact that there is no employment in doing illicit things. These women enjoy
what they are doing because it’s in them ‘kushama.’
Chido Musodza said, “Why can’t they sell tomatoes or be
maids rather than do what they are doing. What example are they setting to the
younger generations? ”
This week some pictures of old women stripping in a bar went
viral on the social media. Boys as young as ten years were part of the crowd at
the stripping show. This act was
condemned by many people as children were exposed to illicit stuff.
