Sex workers protest Covid-19 curfew
Sex workers in Zomba on Wednesday protested against the Covid-19 curfew, saying this is affecting the old profession.
Government has put in place strict Covid-19 preventive measures in a bid to curb the terrifying spikes of Covid-19.
The sex workers stormed Zomba City Council offices to tell the government to immediately lift the curfew.
They said bars must be let to open beyond 8pm.
According to the groups representative, Gladys James, the order to close bars and drinking joints at 8pm infringes on their economic right to earn a living.
She says most of their clients mostly patronise drinking joints at night, when they hook up with the sex workers.
“We normally make around K15,000 a night but, because of the Covid-19 restrictions, things are tough now. We appeal to government officials to consider our concerns,” James said.
However, city officials turned back the sex workers, demanding that they (the sex workers) put their concerns in writing.
Leader of Opposition in Parliament Kondwani Nankhumwa while commending President Lazarus Chakwera for taking bold steps in his new strategy to fight the pandemic, said government should provide safety nets to the most vulnerable and affected people.

This is the time for the church and those who care about women welfare to step in and address the issue. Covid 19 has come to reset our lives.I hear that the gov. has Covid 19 funds, a portion of which can be given to support their basic needs. Some of these may be single mothers with little mouths to feed. As you all knoe our men are well known for damping their women and children for greener pastures not knowing that the grass will need to be watered still!
Stupid prostitutes! Home reckers! STD carriers and transmitters! How are they going to implement the covid 19 safety measures when with their men? Any social distance? Masks on? Any sanitizing? And they ply their shameful ‘trade’ tax-free! Government should not listen to these lazy idiots who only know how to allow men between their thighs, always lying down! Shame to you!
Face it,Lots of our brothers pay for sex. Some are shy people, some like things their wives can’t, some are crippped. Sex trade is the oldest trade in the world, it’s a service. It should be legalised, same as alcohol.we cannot judge these people as judgement is only for Lord. Open up, let these women make a living. They have been protecting themselves from aids for years am sure they can protect themselves from Covid.
This will help to abolish public sexual activities that happening in our beautiful warm heart of Africa (Malawi),let those women involved such activities find something to do in their life by now than selling their bodies and transmitting sexual diseases
kkkkkkkk malawian at its best
Ask each one of them, the storyline is the same, they lost both parents when they were young and they had to do prostitution to provide school fees for their siblings. What a lot of rubbish!
You have made my day
Please ask them for alternative measures that they will adhere to whilst practicing their art. Are clients fully masked with N95 and a shield. Is there sanitizing and handwashing before and after the transaction? How will they maintain the 1 meter social distancing?
Minimum wage is now K50,000. Go and find any type of worker and earn this money which is tax free. You call yourselves sex workers, whom do you work for? You are simply sex sellers to libidinous men. You meet too many people and can easily spread Covid-19. Wait until the vaccine comes to Malawi.
yes 50,000 tax free and no jobs kkkk
Arrest all of them as selling sex in malawi is illegal.
They should indeed be arrested so that this selfish and careless behavior must stop completely.
Just deploy men who are positive for covid and let all these prostitutes get infected and wiped out. Why should men of God die when these scrubbers see no danger in their devilish acts
Mwini mwamuna aoneke. Kalimeni kumudzu. Mufa ndi njala. Simupeza K15 000 pa Chaka.
Ulesi ndi kupeza wawowawo, koma kususukila maliseche aeniake

Is prostitution legal in Malawi? Stupid! Arrest these maggots.
You idiot, buying sex is illegal too and men buying sex are much bigger in number. Half of the Malawian men would be arrested
Pray tell, what’s that dude doing there? He can’t possibly be their lawyer, can he? Is he a pimp??
He could be, kikikikiiiiiii
He is a male prostitute I suppose
He is a chappie
Must be council staff like the ladies behind him including a female guard
15,000 a night translates to almost 300,000 MK no VAT for 20 working days…they should be rich these night queens…
Ambiritu ali ndi nyumba mmakwawo yet amuna opusa amapereka ma 2 or 3 pin wo akukhala ku rent alibe kanthu
Amzanu apeza njira zina zopezera ma customer such as FB
A good response to this protest is to lock them up. Don’t kill the nation because of K15,000. With Covid in our midst, people have become innovative. You should find an alternative means for your survival which is the new norm. This attitude simply confirms that you among those people who don’t believe that we have coronvirus which is deadly.
I hope Zomba has more workers. I can count 12, all lovely ladies in the picture.
Kwabwera Mahuleeee!!!!!!!!
Ulesi zimahulezi. Ziwalo zambirimbiri koma kusankha maliseche kukhala chiwalo chopezera ndarama. Osasankha mphuno bwa?
They are providing a service that others are looking for. They would not be in business if there was no demand.
So too were albino killers providing a service others were looking for. To hell with your demented reasoning
yes and in the albino cases the remainder and suppliers are both arrested. Why is it that in this case it’s always these women being penalised
