The Zambian government’s crackdown on the use of s3x dolls foists on offenders heavy jail terms.
The brouhaha has made media headlines nationally, regionally and internationally, provoked social media debate and became a hot topic of discussion.
Though opinions are divided in the largely conservative southern African country, Lusaka describes sex dolls “very unnatural.”
“Being a Christian nation, obviously we are anchored in Christian principles and one of the values is morality and ethics,” Minister of National Guidance and Religious Affairs Godfridah Sumaili told AFP.
Sumaili warned that selling or using a sex doll was against Zambian law, before vowing to ensure they are not bought on the internet and imported.
“The use of sex dolls is definitely in contradiction to our natural heritage and our principles,” Sumaili added.
“The law actually forbids anybody to trade (in) and to use such objects – and so this is why we are saying for Zambians that this is a very unnatural thing.”
Police are investigating reports of the sex dolls being imported into Zambia, apparently from Asia.
