    Suspected Prostitute Killed by ‘Client’

    {{In Zimbabwe a suspected prostitute was found dead in a lodge in Mutoko after she was allegedly killed by a client who had hired her for a night over the weekend. The woman was found dead with head injuries and bruises on the forehead.}}

    The motive behind the killing is still not known and police are appealing for information that might assist in investigating the case.

    National police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Paul Nyathi said the incident occurred between last Saturday night and Sunday morning.

    “A certain man went to Kasipiti Sports Club in Mutoko and booked a room which he paid for US$5,” he said.

    He said the unknown man was later seen with the woman going into the room.

    It is still not clear what transpired between the two.

    The following day at around 11am a cleaner went to the room with the intention of cleaning and found the door open.

    “The cleaner then saw the woman’s body and a report was made to the police,” Chief Supt Nyathi said.

    He appealed to anyone with information leading to the arrest of the suspect to contact any nearest police station.

    In September last year, a 28-year-old Harare man appeared in court for strangling to death a prostitute he had hired for the night under unclear circumstances.

    Freddy Jasam of number 20 Chiguyakuya Road in Mufakose appeared before magistrate Ms Anita Tshuma facing murder charges.

  • South African Soldiers Get Camouflage Condoms

    South African Soldiers Get Camouflage Condoms

    {{South African soldiers have a new camouflaged weapon in their arsenal, according to a report on Thursday.}}

    Volksblad reported that the bright blue, shiny packet with the familiar grey condoms is being replaced by camouflage packaging.

    The SA Military Health Service (SAMHS) said only the packaging has changed, and the design is unique to the stock packaged for the defence force.

    Condoms are dished out to soldiers – along with a lecture on morality – before they are deployed, according to the report.

    Namibian soldiers have been receiving camouflage-pack condoms for the last five years and theirs come in three different scents while the South African versions are unscented.

    Soldiers are also known to use condoms to cover their rifle barrels in dusty conditions.

  • More Sex to Boost Denmark’s Population

    More Sex to Boost Denmark’s Population

    {{Couples in Denmark are being encouraged to travel to help boost the country’s falling birth rate in a hilarious new advert.}}

    The Do It For Denmark! clip explains how getting away from it all boosts men and woman’s libidos – with a therapist claiming nearly half of couples have more sex when on holiday.

    And the tongue-in-cheek video says 10 per cent of all Danish children are conceived while abroad – with the producers Spies Travel offering a free holiday to anyone who conceives on one of its ‘ovulation discount’ trips

    The voiceover on the Do It For Denmark! campaign asks ‘Can sex save Denmark’s future?’, adding: ‘Denmark faces a problem.

    ‘The birth rate is at a 27-year low, and there are not enough children being born to support the ageing population.

    ‘The Danish government has not found a solution. But there has to be one. Meet Emma, she’s Danish. But even though she was born and raised in Denmark, she was made in Paris, up there, in that hotel room.

    Motivation to travel: The video claims Danes have 46 per cent more sex when on holiday

    ‘Thirty years ago, Emma’s parents took a little getaway. If these walls could talk… But it turns out Emma’s case isn’t so rare. 10 per cent of all Danish children are conceived on holidays.’

    The video goes on to interview therapist Birgit Dagmar Johansen, who claims: ‘To travel and get new experiences affects relationships because couples see each other in a new light. It releases endorphins in the brain and creates desire for sex.

    ‘It’s how we get children. In fact, Danes have 46 per cent more sex on holiday compared to their everyday life.’

    Ovulation discount: Danes who prove they conceived while on one of the company’s holidays will win a prize

    The voiceover adds: ‘So to help the falling Danish birth rate, Spies Travel wants to encourage all Danes to take a romantic city holiday.

    ‘After all, it will also help our future business. But if doing it for Denmark isn’t enough, we made a little competition.

    ‘Book your holiday with our ovulation discount. Get it on. And prove you conceived a child to win a three-year supply of baby stuff and a child-friendly holiday.

    ‘But what if you already did your duty? Or what if your chance of conceiving a children isn’t so high?

    ‘Well look at it this way. It’s not just about winning. All the fun is in the participation. Participate in the competition.

  • Prince George Photograph Released

    Prince George Photograph Released

    {{An official photograph of Prince George with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge has been released ahead of their tour of Australia and New Zealand.}}

    The eight-month-old is pictured in his mother’s arms while Prince William holds their dog, Lupo.

    In the image, taken by royal christening photographer Jason Bell, the family is looking through an open window at their Kensington Palace home.

    The Cambridges are due to arrive in New Zealand on 7 April.

    They then fly to Australia on 16 April and their three-week tour ends on 25 April.

    {{First tour}}

    In the new image, the blond baby prince is wearing a pale blue jumper bearing his name, while his mother wears a cream-coloured blouse and his father a shirt with rolled-up sleeves.

    Prince George, who is third in line to the throne, is not looking directly at the camera like his parents – instead, he is smiling at the black cocker spaniel next to him.

    Other than a glimpse of the curtains, little of the Cambridges’ renovated Kensington Palace home can be seen in the photograph.

    It is the first official picture of Prince George to be released since his christening last October.

    The visit to Australia and New Zealand will be his first official overseas tour. The trip echoes the Prince and Princess of Wales’s visit to Australia and New Zealand in 1983 when the couple took William, then aged nine months, with them.

    The tour will begin in Wellington, where the Cambridges will be greeted with a ceremonial welcome to New Zealand, called a Powhiri in Maori.

    They will see a yacht race, visit a rugby stadium and a vineyard, and there will also be Maori engagements in Christchurch and Dunedin.

    During their time in New Zealand, they will attend a ceremony in Blenheim to recognise the sacrifice of members of the Australian and New Zealand armed forces in the First World War.

    There will be a similar commemorative ceremony in Canberra, Australia.

    Their Australian itinerary includes visits to Uluru in the Northern Territory, as well as Sydney and Adelaide.

    The duke and duchess will also visit an area of the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, that was hit by bushfires last October.

    Their 11-strong entourage includes Prince George’s new nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, and a hairdresser.

    {{Celebrity photographer}}

    Prince William has made a number of official trips to Australia and New Zealand in the past, but Catherine is yet to pay an official visit to either country.

    The couple passed through Brisbane airport on their way back to the UK at the end of their South Pacific tour in September 2012, however.

    The duke had paid an official visit to New Zealand and Australia in March 2011. He went to Christchurch shortly after it suffered an earthquake and also visited Queensland and Victoria, which had been hit by floods.

    It is the third joint official trip abroad for the duke and duchess, following a visit to Canada and the US in July 2011, shortly after they were married, and their South Pacific tour.

    Before taking official photographs following Prince George’s christening at St James’s Palace, Bell was known for his celebrity subjects.

    His images from the christening included one of the young prince with his father, grandfather Prince Charles and great-grandmother, the Queen.

  • Swiss Watchmakers not Ready for Smartwatches

    Swiss Watchmakers not Ready for Smartwatches

    {{With their hundreds of years of watchmaking experience, Swiss watchmakers can afford to take a long view of technological fads and fashions. So-called smartwatches, packing computing power into a wrist-sized gadget, aren’t in their plans for now.}}

    Technology groups from Samsung Electronics Co Ltd to Sony Corp are counting on wearable electronic devices able to hook up to the Internet, melding fashion and technology in what could be the next mass consumer trend.

    Yet so far the Swiss see little appeal in such devices.

    “There’s a lot of noise about smartwatches, but you don’t see them on people’s wrists,” Francois Thiebaud, head of Swatch Group SA’s Tissot brand, told Reporters in an interview at a watch fair in Basel.

    “We don’t want to do anything that doesn’t add value for the customer, we’re not interested in launching a gadget watch,” Thiebaud said.

    Family-owned Patek Philippe and La Montre Hermes, the watch unit of luxury goods group Hermes International SA, don’t see smartwatches as a threat for their business, their heads said.

    Both Patek’s Thierry Stern and Hermes’ Luc Perramond said their target market was different from the young buyers who might be looking for something to wear on their wrists.

    “When they grow older,” Perramond said, “that may be a watch.”

    Yet no consumer goods maker can afford to turn a completely blind eye to global technological advances.

    Thiebaud said Tissot, together with parent Swatch Group, had set up a group to assess the potential of launching a watch connected to the Internet, but no final decision had been made.

    Nick Cannon Reveals Celebrities he Has Slept With

    {{American actor, comedian, rapper, Nicholas Scott “Nick” Cannon has made a startling revelation of some of the A-list celebrities he has had sex with.}}

    Rarely do celebrities come out publicly to announce intimate affairs they have had with fellow celebrities but Nick did not find it hard to spill the beans.

    Answering a question on which celebrities he has had sex with in an interview on Big Boy’s Power 106 TV, the actor, who is now married to Mariah Carey, said the list includes Kim Kardashian.

    According to him, apart from Kim Kardashian, musicians Christina Milian, Nicole Scherzinger, supermodel Selita Ebanks and others have been with him.

    After mentioning the names, he said “people already know some of them,” and said liisting them “is just easy.”

    He said he lost his virginity at age 13.

    He said he “worked hard at” getting his dream wife Mariah Carey and he was persistent till he got her.

    Nick said he loves Mariah and revealed that “she is my soul mate”.

  • Homosexuality Equal to Terrorism in Kenya

    Homosexuality Equal to Terrorism in Kenya

    {{Homosexuality in Kenya is as bad a problem as terrorism, the ruling party’s parliamentary leader said on Wednesday, but argued against stepping up legal sanctions on the grounds that existing laws were tough enough.}}

    Aden Duale, the majority leader from President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ruling Jubilee coalition, was responding to a group of MPs demanding tougher laws.

    “Can’t we just be brave enough, seeing that we are a sovereign state, and outlaw gayism and lesbianism, the way Uganda has done?” legislator Alois Lentoimaga said.

    Uganda has voted for life imprisonment for some homosexual acts, prompting some international donors to suspend aid.

    Duale, who speaks on behalf of the Kenyan government in the assembly, said: “We need to go on and address this issue the way we want to address terrorism …

    “It’s as serious as terrorism. It’s as serious as any other social evil,” Duale said, referring to a spate of attacks by al Qaeda-linked Somali Islamist militants carried out in retaliation for Kenya’s intervention in neighboring Somalia.

    But he said the Kenyan constitution and the penal code already had sufficient anti-gay provisions, denying the government was reluctant to tighten such laws for fear of losing international aid.

    Duale said 595 cases of homosexuality had been investigated in Kenya since 2010, when a new constitution was adopted, and courts had convicted or acquitted the accused, while police had found no organizations openly championing homosexuality in violation of the law.

    “We do not need to go the Uganda way, we have the constitution and the penal code to deal with homosexuality, and so this debate is finished, we will not be enacting any new tougher laws,” Duale told Reuters later.

    Homosexuality is broadly taboo in Africa and illegal in 37 countries. Fear of violence, imprisonment and loss of jobs means few gays in Africa are open about their sexuality.

    Kenya’s penal code says any person “who has carnal knowledge of any person against the order of nature” is guilty of a felony and can be jailed for 14 years.

    Anti-gay groups have emerged in Kenya after Nigeria and Uganda toughened up laws against homosexuals.

    One of these groups, The Save Our Men Initiative, has said it is launching a “Zuia Sodom Kabisa” campaign, meaning “prevent Sodom completely” in Swahili, to “save the family, save youth, save Kenya”.

    Nigeria has outlawed same-sex relationships. Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh has said homosexuals are “vermin” and must be fought like malaria-causing mosquitoes.

  • Ukraine Sex Strike Against Russian Men

    Ukraine Sex Strike Against Russian Men

    {{A group of Ukrainian women have given recent sanctions against Russia a new twist, selling T-shirts with the slogan: “Don’t give it to a Russian,” in a call for refusing sex to Russian men.}}

    The campaign, organized by Ukrainian television and business news journalists, takes its cue from other sex strikes throughout history, and has inspired a range of interpretations – not all sexual – since it launched last week.

    “Each of our activists, who agreed to have their pictures taken in the patriotic T-shirt, had her own meaning in mind: Don’t give Crimea to a Russian, don’t give your land to a Russian occupation, don’t give money to a Russian, or don’t let Russians win,” a statement on the campaign’s Facebook page said.

    “Sex, funny as this may sound, was the last thing to occur,” the organizers said. “What will you have in mind when you wear this T-shirt?”

    The black-and-white T-shirt features an image of folded hand palms – as if in prayer or, according to some interpretations, as a symbolic representation of a vagina – and a line from a 1838 poem entitled “Kateryna” by Ukrainian national poet Taras Shevchenko: “Fall in love, dark-browed maiden, but not with the Moskals [Russians].”

    The organizers hope the call for celibacy in the name of peace will not inspire Ukrainian women alone.

    “Russian women, would you like to join us? Our [men] are still at home, but yours are already at war,” they said.

    Urging followers to “fight the enemy in any way,” the Facebook page cited various sex strike campaigns from past eras, including one featured in the Greek playwright Aristophanes’ anti-war comedy “Lysistrata.”

    The women in the play refused sex to their husbands to dissuade them from fighting in the Peloponnesian War and to secure peace.

    In more recent and real-life examples, women in Liberia staged a sex strike in 2003 and succeeded in establishing peace in the country after a 14-year civil war.

    In 2006 in Colombia, the wives and girlfriends of gang members started an action called “the strike of crossed legs” to stop gang violence that had killed more than 450 people in the region.

    Similar strikes also took place in Italy, the Philippines, Togo and Kenya.

    Since Russia moved in to annex Crimea early this month, other calls for boycotts have appeared in Ukraine.

    A Twitter user posted a photograph of a billboard on a highway between Kiev and Odessa, saying: “Don’t buy from the occupant! Boycott Russian goods.”

    The sex-strike campaign went viral on Russian social networks in a matter of days, with some commentators expressing support for the women, but most denouncing them.

    Nationalist online magazine “Sputnik and Pogrom” on its Facebook page called the women prostitutes, in an accusation that seemed reminiscent of an old Russian joke about two men discussing a woman who had refused sex to , and then end up calling her a prostitute for turning them down.

    The T-shirts sell for 250 hryvnia ($23), with the proceeds reportedly going toward supporting the Ukrainian army.

    The Ukrainian Defense Ministry recently set up a hotline asking for 5-hryvnia donations, and nearly 10 million hryvnia had been raised by mid-March, according to the ministry website.
