Masvingo Police have lamented the use of sex enhancing drugs (Aphrodisiacs) mostly by men in Masvingo with surveys showing that it has become a drug abuse issue in the district.
This was revealed by Masvingo Central Detective Inspector Hazvinei Jindu at Masvingo Family Fest, an event that was held at Masvingo Sports Club cricket ground on the 7th of October 2023.
Jindu said sex enhancing drugs were being abused in the same way other narcotics were being abused by youths in the streets and the number of men using sex enhancing drugs continue to rise.
“During a research we conducted, we found out that there has been a rapid increase in men and boys using sex enhancing drugs. The reasons being that women are said to be complaining of being sex starved and not being satisfied. This forces men to seek advice from peers who then advise them to use the drugs.
She said during raids hey have recovered a number of the sex enhancing drugs like ‘Congo dust’, AK-47’, manhood enlarging gel and ‘cobra 120’ adding that continued use of ‘Congo dust’ was deadly and continuous use may result in one failing to have an erection without it.
“Congo dust is said to be deadly, as it affects sperm production and sperm quality and this results in infertility and giving birth to children with special needs like down-syndrome and also resulst in men failing to perform sexual duties properly without using drugs,” said Jindu.
She said as police they were urging men to desist from using the drugs saying they expose women to cervical cancer and prostate cancer in men.
“We urge men and boys to desist from using sex enhancing drugs. Men are spending seven hours doing the act and this is causing cervical cancer in women,” said Jindu.
She added that the sex-enhancing drugs were also being used in schools and have resulted in school pupils having group sex and urged parents to avoid giving their children excess pocket money.
“Parents please don’t give your children too much pocket money. They are using that money to get drugs and they end up organizing vuzu parties at schools,” Jindu said.
She also said women were using skin lightening cream, pills and injections to enhance their beauty as a result causing health problems such as skin cancer.
She advised members of the public to contact the police if they have any information on people who sell and abuse drugs.
Ngomahuru and Masvingo Provincial hospitals are being used as rehabilitation centers for people drug addicts
