2018 ‘ERECTIONS’- THE MDC MP, ‘SAYS DO A MBUYA NEHANDA’ Priscillah Misihairabwi-Mushonga says women should not wear underwear on voting day to make sure that they vote for a woman candidate.
While Zimbabweans assumed that 2018 is a year of elections, it looks like it might be a year of ‘erections’ instead!
To be fair, Zimbabwe’s liberation from white colonial rule in the 1880s was led by Mbuya Nehanda, a woman who wore no panties, bra or anything apart from a thong made up of cow hide, no foot wear and managed to lead armies of men and rebellion against colonisation.
It may just be a fact that the ‘freedom’ of dress , liberated her mind and made her an icon of rebellion against colonisation. Almost 150 years later, Priscillah Misihairabwi-Mushonga says women should not wear underwear on voting day to make sure that they vote for a woman candidate.
According to a video posted by the Voice of America, the outspoken legislator, who once took used panties to Parliament to press for the banning of the sale of used underwear, said:
“When you are gripped by a demon that wants you to vote for a man, lift up your skirts and check your bottom and then you will know who to vote for.”
She insisted, however, that women should not wear their underwear only on voting day.
Women, across all political parties, are pressing for a 50-50 representation in Parliament.
The elections are due in three months and most parties have asked aspiring candidates to submit their CVs for consideration.
