Lusaka Prostitutes celebrate Zambia’s win by offering free sex

PROSTITUTES in Lusaka’s Kanyama, John Laing, Chawama and Kalingalinga compounds last night offered themselves free of charge to every Jim and Jack as part of their celebration after Zambia beat Ghana 1-0.

A check by The Independent Post (TIP) at nightclubs such as Kanyama’s Kanchembele and Chine Chikayeba found long queues of men waiting to have sex with a limited number of prostitutes.

A single prostitute served nearly 11 men and there were more than 200 men wanting to celebrate Zambia’s first qualification to the Africa Cup final since 1994 in style.

The situation was the same at John Laing’s Corogo night Club which is situated just opposite John Laing Basic School. But at Corogo, a man in his mid twenties was beaten up after he took long to attain orgasm when his turn to have sex with the prostitute came.

“Yes, we beat him up because he took too long to ejaculate. We were too many of us on line and the guy kept on wasting time on top of the prostitute,” said an eye-witness, identified only as James.

And in Chawama as well as Kalingalinga, TIP correspondents say only a handful of prostitutes were made to serve tens of Chipolopolo fans.

But another soccer fan who claims not have taken part in the ‘mass servicing’ of prostitutes said the development was unfortunate. Mike Tembo suspected that many young people might have contracted the HIV virus and other STIs during the ‘sexual celebration.’

“I think when Zambia plays the final, free condoms need to be provided so that we can protect our young men. Many of them had sex with the prostitutes without condoms,” Tembo said.

Zambia’s win over Ghana sent the whole Zambia into wild celebration. Soccer fans celebrated the win in all manner of ways. Fortunately, no deaths were recorded at the time this story was published.

Coach Herve Renard said that he was happy that Zambia has told the world through the beating of the Black stars that Ghana are still toddlers.

“We’ve won and I am very happy. At least we’ve shown the world that Ghana are toddlers,” Renard said.

He added that Zambia will now be aiming at beating Ivory Coast on February 12.

Ghana paid the penalty as Asamoah Gyan saw a penalty saved before Zambia scored with their only attack of the second half in a 1-0 win in their African Cup of Nations semi-final in a sodden Bata.

Zambia substitute Emmanuel Mayuka completed a smash-and-grab victory for the Chipolopolo boys as he tucked the ball beyond Ghana keeper Adam Kwarasey from 22 yards on 79 minutes to complete a miserable day for the 2010 World Cup quarter-finalists.

Zambia will return to the Gabon capital of Libreville for the final, 19 years after the fallen heroes were tragically wiped out when a plane crashed heading towards Dakar for a World Cup qualifier with Senegal in 1993.

Under coach Herve Renard, Zambia is certainly physically strong enough to provide a stern test for Ivory Coast.

Police arrest 16 activists over doctors’ strike

Police are still questioning 16 people believed to be activists who were arrested around 11 am today at Muhimbili National Hospital, the venue of the historic meeting that saw PM Pinda finding a breakthrough to the doctors’ saga.

The activists were arrested before they disembarked from their vehicles and are suspected of planning to stage a demonstration, pressing the PM and the doctors to find a lasting solution to the strike.

Talking to the media, the Kinondoni Regional Police Commander, Charles Kenyela, confirmed that they were still holding the activists and statements were still being taken. He said that after the statements then normal procedures will be followed and they will be placed on remand pending court hearing.

Commander Kenyela also said that the activists are likely to be charged for unlawful assembly, considering that the day before they were arrested they had staged a demonstration, blocking the road and causing commotion.

Among those who were arrested is the LHRC director Hellen Kijo Bisimba, Tamwa Director Ananilea Nkya and Sikika director Irenei Kiria. They are still being held at Osterbay Police Station.

Tanzania: Doctors end strike

Doctors in Tanzania have agreed to resume work after meeting the Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda today. The doctors, as a condition for them to return to work, gave the government a month to attend to their grievances - ending a three-week old strike that had paralyzed the health sector.



EVERY REASON TO SMILE!. . . . PM Mizengo Pinda managed to find common ground with medical doctors to end the strike.

The situation in hospitals had become unbearable as ordinary citizens were suffering after failing to get medical attention. Meanwhile the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Blandina Nyoni and the government Chief Medical Officer, Dr Deo Mtasiwa, have been sacked as the government engaged in fire fighting tactics to end the strike.

The Prime Minister, Mizengo Pinda announced the sacking during a meeting with doctors where they were mapping the way forward. The two have been accused of bungling the doctors’ case and are accused of failing to find a lasting solution to the problem.

UTH said it had treated 46 casualties who were injured after Zambia national soccer team – “Chipolopolo” – beat Ghana’s “Black Stars” to advance to the finals of the on-going African Nations Cup tournament co-hosted by Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

“Out of these 13 are assault cases while 33 are Road Traffic Accidents,” hospital officials said.

And residents of a high density suburb south west of the capital Lusaka torched a motor vehicle after it ran over a person celebrating Zambia’s 1:0 win over Ghana.

Three people have so far been killed in post-match celebrations that are mostly characterized by heavy alcohol intake, careless driving and loud blowing of South African popularized local trumpets – “Vuvuzelas”

Zambia will face Ivory Coast over the weekend for the top prize while Ghana and Mali will battle it out for third and fourth positions.

Tanzanian government remains clueless as doctors’ strike bites

The situation continues to deteriorate as the government remains mum over the doctors’ strike. A visit by Bongoblast to many hospitals in Dar es Salaam revealed a sorry state of affairs of human suffering and neglect.

Tamwa Director Ananilea Nkya, (right), carries a placard during the demonstration yesterday.

Many patients continue to die for failing to access treatment while those with the means have no choice but to transfer their beloved ones from these killing grounds to private doctors, where they will be left without any choice but to dig beeper into their pockets.

As people continue to suffer, it seems the impasse has reached a dead end with the government seemingly running out of ideas on how to tackle it. The use of threats by the Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda to force doctors to go back to work seems to have fueled the strike instead of being helpful. Dr Lucy Nkya, the Deputy Minister of health seems confused as she continues sticking to threats instead of finding a lasting solution.

Activists demonstrate

Some of the activists block the road while carrying placards in Dar es Salaam, yesterday.

A group of activists yesterday demonstrated, pressing the government to wake up and solve the crisis. The activists led by LHRC director Hellen Kijo Bisimba, Tamwa Director Ananilea Nkya and Sikika director Irenei Kiria blocked traffic at Salender Bridge for an hour singing and carrying placards with the message to the government. The following are some of the pictures.
