KWEKWE Polytechnic male students have been warned to be on the lookout for “sugar mummies”
who prey on “unsuspecting” students, with an aim of collecting sperms for rituals.
Speaking during a drug awareness campaign for new students, Kwekwe Central Police Community
Relations and Liaison Officer Assistant Inspector Ludiah Shanje said they had noted cases of sugar
mummies who target vulnerable young boys and give them money for sexual benefits.
Boys should be careful of aggravated indecent assault cases whereby rich ladies target young and
vulnerable boys, give them money and goodies after sleeping with them with the aim of collecting
sperms for rituals.
Most victims suffer evil spirit hallucinations and attacks as time goes on and end up dropping from
school, Assistant Inspector Shanje said.
She added that the sugar mummies seduce boys, offer to cover all their needs, then drug and have
sexual intercourse with them. This, also exposes the young students to Sexually Transmitted
Diseases (STIs).
The Kwekwe police spokesperson said female students are also at risk as “blessers” are also on the
prowl.
Detective Constable Cynthia Hlomani from ZRP Criminal Investigation Department Kwekwe Central
said that the aim of drug awareness campaign programmes is not only to enable safe completion of
courses but to promote healthy and robust future leaders with clean criminal records.
She said crystal meth is a dangerous drug that has cost youth’s lives and health.
Investigations revealed crystal meth as the most abused drug by the youth causing tooth decay,
muscle weakness, fatigue, headache, temporal increased sex drive that have led to the spread of
STIs and deaths.
Be vigilant who you associate with, these drug dealers have a strong network to bait you. They have
planted their pimps among you who will come as friends at colleges, bars and recreational places,
Detective Constable Hlomani said.
She said students should remember their background and let it be their guideline for focus than
being a fashion monger who link with people who are above their class.
“Such issues will lead you to participate in illicit deals that will end you in jail,” she said.
Sergeant Clemence Mande, the Assistant District Communications Liaison Officer Kwekwe District
encouraged youths to recognise the presence of God in every step that they take during the process
of learning and after.
Constable Johnson Tapfuma who doubles as a poet and Assistant Communications Relations Liaison
Officer staged an educative poem entitled Yeesi which nailed much on types of gender-based
violence resulting from drug abuse.
Police also warned students on skin-lightening creams which slowly destroy their internal organs and
cheap brandy and drugs that will result in them failing to sleep and have children (conceiving
challenges), light sensitivity, skin cancer, memory loss, kidney failure and lung damage.
