*Low HIV Prevalence In Gokwe Attributed To Fear Of Traditional Sex-locking Method* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ap Traditional norms and values play a role in curbing the spread of HIV and AIDS, an official has revealed. Midlands Provincial Aids Coordinator Mambewu Shumba said that the traditional sex-locking method – runyoka or rukawo in Shona, though it is a myth, instils fear into people so that they avoid cheating on their spouses. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- Shumba was commenting on reports that there is a low HIV prevalence rate in Gokwe North and South districts, areas that are renowned for witchcraft. He said: > The first programme that we have is that of HIV testing and counselling, as you know, that’s the entry point in the fight against the spread of HIV. > But also the traditional norms and values have also played a great part in the fight against the spread of HIV and AIDS as people here respect and follow their culture. > The sex locking issues is just a myth, but these people respect their cultural values and norms. > Tonga and the Shangwe people there stick to one man and even if they are in the polygamous marriages. > So the issues of runyoka (sex locking) are just a myth which has been said over and over again hence men and women are just afraid of cheating with married partners. *More: New Zimbabwe* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
