Zimbabwe has suffered from a major HIV crisis in recent decades, with around 14 per cent of the population believed to be living with the sexually-transmitted disease.

Recent studies have suggested a decrease in the rate of infection. However hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans are still believed to be HIV positive or suffering from Aids.

Senator Femai reportedly gave his bizarre opinions on the issue as he attended a parliamentary conference on future health policy.

The politician compounded his comments by explaining his belief that moisture inside women’s bodies made them more vulnerable to the HIV virus.

“Women have got more moisture in their organs as compared to men, so there is need to research how to deal with that moisture because it is conducive for bacteria breeding.” 

‘There should be a way to suck out that moisture.’

The citizens of Zimbabwe are completely enraged over Senator Femai’s preposterous comments..   Masimba Musodza, who described himself as a Zimbabwean expatriate living in Britain, wrote on a website message board: ‘I am so ashamed to come from Zimbabwe right now.

‘In my exile, I have met thousands of British people who would fit the description of “idiot”, but this chap would match all of them put together.’

Last year fellow MDC senator Sithembile Mlotshwa was criticised after she said scientists should invent a drug to stop married men wanting to have sex with prostitutes.

I can’t even imagine being in Zimbabwe at a news conference and listening to this BS.. Would definitely have to take off my shoes and toss them towards the stage.. Surely, applause would have to break out if a shoe were to connect with the head of one of these brainless politicians.
