“What policy direction should the new dawn government take on these self prescribed traditional sex boosters that are now attracting the attention of even teenagers?”
Lusaka – In 2016, a 29 year old woman of Lusaka made headlines when she told the Chawama Local Court that she was tired of being treated like an animal in bed by her husband who liked to use the ‘Pwanya Chinena’ sex booster to satisfy his sexual desires.
Martha Kunda, of Kabwata residential area sued Eric Kansambo, 35, a truck driver of Chilenje area for marriage reconciliation. The pair got married in 2009 and together they had two children, and bride price was paid.
Kunda told the court that problems in their marriage started on January 12, 2014 when Kansambo found a job as a truck driver at Choombe motors.
“The challenge we have your honour in our marriage is that my husband has developed this habit of bringing all sorts of these traditional sex boosters such as ‘mutototo’ branded as ‘Pwanya Chinena’ and demands abnormal sex,” she said.
She told the court that Kansambo had been threatening to desert his matrimonial home if she ever discouraged him from using sex boosters.

She also told the court that her husband had stopped providing for the welfare of his family adding that he was also in the habit of sleeping out of their matrimonial home.
“Last time I prepared lunch for him but instead he refused to eat the food I prepared for him and for no reason, he started beating me with a broom stick right on my head,” she lamented.
However, she told the court that despite elders talking about the fate of their marriage, Kansambo did not change.
But in his defense, Kansambo denied using sex boosters, claiming that Kunda was telling lies.
“The sex boosters she is talking about belonged to my friend Kelvin; he asked me to buy him that stuff,” he claimed.
Passing judgment, Senior Court Magistrate Gaston Kalala reconciled the couple. He also cautioned Kansambo to immediately stop using sex boosters, saying it would destroy their marriage.
