President Jacob Zuma has expressed his disappointment on a new trend of speed dating with a “happy ending” in some parts of the country called Mavuso.
Delivering his key note address at an event commemorating the 40th anniversary of the June 16 Soweto student uprisings in Orlando stadium on Thursday‚ Zuma said young women should be protected from such activities.
“We also need to protect our youth especially young women and girls‚ from abuse and exploitation through new shocking tendencies in our country such as the so-called sex parties or sex stokvels known as the Mavuso. Hawu‚ naze nakhohlakala bandla (Hawu‚ you are so dirty)‚” said Zuma.
It has been reported that this type of stokvel is only found in and around Tshwane. It is a soft form of prostitution in which a man and a woman‚ either known to each other or complete strangers‚ engage in a sexual transaction under the pretences of a speed ‘date’.
New Pretoria trend: Stokvel for sex
Mavuso apparently involves negotiations in which the two agree to a certain fee for spending the night together‚ preceded by partying or attending social functions together as a couple. The money‚ which the women use to spoil themselves‚ is given to the women in the morning.
“Sex party? aibo‚ I’ve never heard of such‚” Zuma said in shock.
“Patrons at taverns reportedly take young women home overnight at a price announced at the tavern by the hosts. Where have you heard of such?” asked Zuma‚ adding that those guilty of such behaviour‚ should not subject young women to this abuse and danger.
Zuma said the long-term impact on their lives‚ and also on the government’s successful fight against HIV and AIDs was too ghastly to contemplate. He said the government would soon launch a campaign targeting young women‚ to educate them against such practices.
“We urge those who sell children alcohol and drugs to stop doing so because they are breaking the law and they are killing the country by selling children such substances‚” said Zuma‚ adding that those merchants should be arrested.
The president also encouraged communities to work together with the police to prosecute those who were providing such a service which was killing the youth.
