WE ARE ENJOYING IT, PEOPLE FROM THE EAST DEFEND CHIDYELANO
Several women and men in Petauke and Chipata interviewed by ZANIS have defended their new culture Chidyelano saying it is excellent and extremely motivating and is helping keeping marriages intact. “Instead of admiring someone’s husband or wife, we just negotiate with the owner of that person and exchange for sex”.
Chidyelano, a traditional practice of exchanging wives and husbands for sexual pleasure during mobile markets locally known as Kabwandile in eastern province has gained momentum.
The Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs, Chipata district traditional Affairs Assistant officer, Cecilia Tembo, says Chidyelano, attracts foreign nationals from Malawi and Mozambique.
ZANIS reports that Ms Tembo disclosed this in Chipata today, during the Zambia National Men’s Network for Gender and Development media breakfast.
She explained that Chidyelano is a traditional practice which involves married men or women exchanging their partners for sexual pleasure.
