“What I propose is that the government should come up with a law that compels women to have their heads clean-shaven like what the Apostolic sects do,” Femai said Friday while addressing a parliamentary HIV awareness workshop in Kadoma. “They should also not bath because that is what has caused all these problems (spread of HIV).”
Femai also recommended circumcision for women – becoming the latest in a long line of MDC-T lawmakers who have pushed forward bizarre proposals about how to curb the spread of HIV. “Women have got more moisture in their organs as compared to men, so there is need to research how to deal with that moisture because it is conducive for bacteria breeding. There should be a way o suck out that moisture,” he said in comments insinuating that the virus which causes Aids breeds better in women than men.
Zimbabwe is one of the countries worst affected by HIV/Aids but has seen a decline in new infections year-on-year over the last decade. Sithembile Mlotshwa, the MDC-T Senator for Matobo, recently suggested that Zimbabweans must be limited to one sexual encounter per month. Men, she said, should be administered a drug that reduces their libido.

Sadly the anti-virals which are being used to keep HIV victims alive in Africa have actually contributed to its spread due to people living longer with the condition.
Perhaps a cheaper alternative would be for him to put forward that people who can't resist women go to the police for a good hard kick in the nads every week. If it doesn't go up, it doesn't come out.
Here's a better idea, Senator Femai..... why don't you talk to a MEDICAL DOCTOR instead of coming up with your own crazy ideas???
Spot on, Miss C.
There is no reason for advocating female circumcision - it's a horrific, barbaric, mutilating practice with absolutely no benefits to it whatsoever. Male circumcision on the other hand is a minor procedure which has been shown to reduce the spread of STDs somewhat. But god forbid that men have to do anything in all this...
