Matobo Senator Sithembile Mlotshwa (MDC-T) says the only avenue left to curb the spread of HIV among married people is by injecting husbands with an “immobiliser” to reduce their sexual desire.
Contributing to debate on the first report on HIV and Aids dealing with access to treatment in the Senate on Wednesday, Ms Mlotshwa said it was important to reduce men’s appetite for sex.

She urged the Thematic Committee on HIV and Aids and the Zimbabwe Parliamentarians Against HIV and Aids to pursue the avenue.
“I want to contribute by saying that all the other avenues have been looked into and the only avenue left is for us as parliamentarians to decide or suggest reducing the appetite for men and their insatiable greed for women.
“If the scientists that we have here look into the issue of trying to inject men with a substance that will make them lose appetite and use that chance once a month at home, I think that might help.
“This problem is with us for good. We have looked at the use of condoms, abstinence but I still think we have to look at the rate of mating of human beings because through their mating, HIV is being spread,” she said.
Sen Mlotshwa said God was not aware that there would be HIV when he created men and and women.
“I do not think that when God created these parts, which we use for mating, he was thinking that one time there is going to be this HIV.
“I am looking at it from this angle and I am thinking that when we were created this problem of HIV was not there. People might think that I am joking, but I seriously think if I were the Minister responsible for men, I would really enforce law onto our men,” she said.
Sen Mlotshwa urged her peers to get tested and make their status public.
“I urge the senators that we will be launching ZIPAH in this Parliament. I suggest that in our committee, let us launch by testing and posting the results for everyone to see and know our status so that when we talk about HIV and Aids people know about our needs,” Sen Mlotshwa said.

Once a month,aaah!!!
What about the other. Days
I think she means once a month with one woman and the other 30 with others
Senator your ethics are questionable. am very much concerned about HIV/ AIDS as a youth but your story seems to be one sided. is it that only man are spreading AIDS and isnt sex a natural phenomenon……with that method of control in mind, arent we perpetrating genetic manipulation? I believe God had to create AIDS as a way of punishing morally loose people but it is sad some are just victims of the situation(kids and other faithful partners). all we need is behavioural tranformation. i would want to comment Zimbabweans for reducing the rate of spread of the deadly disease and i believe this is owed to awareness campaigns and other education programmes…it works and we only have tyo encourage good behaviours not genetic manipulation!
Thats an abuse, they should be an agreement btween partners. Wat if a woman has got high lobido than man? ? ? , 2many Q than A.
if all lawmakers are of this calibre then god forbid
Really! Senator, really! Really!
Oh my Goodness ,are these the quality of Lawmakers we have?
Senator Sithembile Mlotshwa (MDC-T) is simply a good headline grabber. Ndine mubvunzo umwe chete. Imwi Senator munokwirwa kamwe here pa-gore kana i aday aday. Infection is not dependent on the rounds of sex one has? It is about having unprotected sex with an infected person.
f**k off mhani
I can only dismiss the senator as being flippant on very serious issue. I really cant believe that the party I sympathise with appointed this woman as a senator. She has to be joking surely her interligents is well above this,
The HIV problems starts the minute we start to blame each other, in this article the not so learned senator blames man- man are not the cause of high hiv rates- we are all responsible and should act like grown ups
the senator shows lack of depth and understanding of marriage in our tradition and Christianity.
Viva senator. This people are naughty. Lol
goes to sure why mdc is taken 4 a joke nd it shows how backward we are now to have such idiots be senators,next think before u speak wena mdidi
Uri mhata yemukadzi, nokuti iwe wakakwirwa ukaneta woda kuti tisakwirawo, ndaishaiwa kuti zimbabwe haibudiriri nei, yet ndidzo type dzemaLawmakers edu awa, vanaChinotimba neikaka kamukadzi kachembera kasisisina masexual feelings
Well, at times we question the reasoning of the people we put in power. This is someone speaking such nonsense in senate? shame on u woman, if u have nothing to say, u may do well to keep your mouth shut.
Im seriously doubting MDC intelligence
this is embarrassing, i mean really now
This must be THE JOKE OF THE YEAR, as much as I like MDC, truly I have been put off by these so called senators because they are insulting God by using their anuses to think instead of using that white stuff in their heads which they call a brain. The entire country will be in chaos if Tsvangirai becomes the next president. These senators need to go back to kindergarten.
Who told the senator that men have more desire for sex than women? Ungataura kuiswa kamwechete pamwedzi isu tichitoda more than once a day. Go to hell.
Uyazi senator uyasiyangisa. Usuka khonale ekhaya uzokhuluma amnyala angaka. Abantu bonke iZimbabwe ingaka, ukhumbula ukuthi ungumphisikolo labanwabaso? Akusitshele wena ukuthi wendile na loba ungumaziqonda nje?
Good grief, what an idiot she is. God did not know about HIV when he created these organs, she alleges, what a blasphemer. We did not know about your lack of intelligence when we voted you into power. These people should not claim for seating allowances when they go to parliament
i think ur crazy i bet u dnt have a husband they is nothing new under the sun god knows evrythng thats happenng and yet to happen u need deliverance
