Daniel Chigundu|Legislator Jessie Majome has blasted musician Jah Prayzah for using a “sexfied-school uniform” in the video for his popular song Eriza, arguing that the move has the potential of sending wrong signals to some men.
Contributing to child marriages debate in Parliament recently the outspoken women rights activist urged musicians, artists and the media to play a part and stop promoting images that seem to condone sexual intercourse with girls.
“Indeed, I must say one of my favourite musicians has a brilliant, good song but unfortunately he produced a video that shows very suggestive and sex dances being done by girls wearing school uniform.
“Mr. Speaker Sir, while that is entertainment, but unfortunately, those things send messages that say it is alright for girls to wear little dresses and to dance in a sex manner and titillate men. It also sends signals into some perverted men to actually start drooling over school girls.
“I understand that as we speak, they are stories in the media about how there is an uproar where certain commercial sex workers are also now wearing uniforms that are sexed up, if I may call it that and are luring men. I am thinking that the men who will stop to buy the services from those sexual workers are actually not going to stop because they have been attracted by a sexfied school uniform.
“If I go further, I am disturbed by the consequences that it means that they will actually find a school girl in a school uniform attractive and lure her away from the parts of virtue and detract her from there and that is the paths of child marriage. We need to keep our girls in school so that they attain qualifications and they are able to look after themselves and make decisions for themselves.
“We must show zero tolerance to rape and sexual intercourse with children and we must not marry children. We must remove those images and deceit from entertainment and media reports that seem to condone and encourage sexual activity and the titillation of people using children in sexual images,” she said.
In his video for the song Eriza off the chart toping album Jerusarema, Jah Prayzah feature 22 year old voluptuous dancer Lady Storm (real name Lyn Magodo) dancing suggestively in a school uniform.
Early this year Jah Prayzah also held a live musical show where everyone was expected to come dressed up in school uniform.- OpenParly

Whoeever said adults must come to same school as children? we should have alternative schools for them but we have night school. the reality is manight school are same as the schools for kids just different times and they can have uniforms if they want. some countries do not even have uniforms so you now want to say those without uniforms are not school children. no wonder why we have people like the bhutsu headmasters wife who denied a child opportunity to write O level… it is because of people like you. it is just a uniform it is not the school child. Musada kuita talk of child marriages as the biggest evil. even the colonial days nobody ever tried to criminalise child marriage ndo chii ichocho . if people agree zvineyi nemi. worry when there is rape and forced marriage. If it is not forced stay out of it. there are other more important issue. taneta nevanhu vanouya ne petty issue ku parliament. trivial things and that is what this is

It is because of people who think like you Grace that child marriages will be difficult to stop! What the Hon MP is simply saying is lets not expose our children through suggestive behavior, and I see nothing wrong with that! You are talking of Chinamwari and other cultural practices, I honestly believe that that was a preserve for adults! The Hon MP is saying don’t use clothes that point to children! Adults continuing with their education are not expected to come to a formal school together with children! That thinking/policy is largely responsible for indiscipline and ultimately school girl pregnancy in RSA! Madam Majome there are some real men out here who are behind your line of thinking. We don’t want people who portray our school girls as potential sex partners! For sex workers who are using school uniform to attract customers, legislation has to be formulated to deal with that or any form of abuse of school uniform for that matter!

First Eriza video has no children. The world over, even grown ups can go to school. We all want to promote continuos education. So everybody can put on a school uniform madam MP. So much ado about having women reps in parliament. What a Joke. First Priscilla then this Majome. We have many real issues and Majome opens her mouth to show her intolerance of diversity. That video is no different from the Chimutare dance or the Chinamwari celebration pass out dance. Who is Majome to decide what is proper education for children and adults in zimbabwe ? Education is cultural and value laden. Majome needs to go back to school to learn about the place of religion (various religions not just her own) ,culture (various not her own) in the education of 21 first century diverse national populations. Congratulations Jah Prayzah and band for showing even grown ups can go to school and highlighting the hidden curriculum that keeps some children in school but is sadly ignored by our present Zimbabwe education. Analysis of issues raised against this video brings out a wealth of information about the failure of our current education system. from a failure to to promote the arts in school to a complete failure to provide the appropriate and useful tertiary education for the majority of our school leavers represented here in this video. Jah is a genius! Majome address the issues the country faces. siyana ne video.

It is the men who should be educated. Moreover, video iyoyo ndiyo yazonyanye kudini, Isuzu takatarisana nenyika yaora. Munataura mwafunga, wee!
Majome the country is burning and all you can spring in parliament is the Eriza video? That video is an excellent piece of work whose skills sadly our schools mostly do not develop. Tsvaga zvimwe. That video had adults. And in this century grown ups go to school to finish school. all people who go for exam preps can put on school uniform if the school asks them to . So what is the big deal. if anything It shows our show business people value their education if they can go back to school uniform in videos. There is nothing wrong with that video. Majome needs to know we have communities in zimbabwe that have traditional dances that are a lot like that video and are even more explicit. Chimutare. So majome now wants to criticise those cultures?Imi vanhu ii get real. Gone are the days people were told chinamwari and all the sex education that goes along with it are pagan and heathen. Today. people from non Chinamwari cultures are paying big bucks to the old chinamwari gogos muMbare to get the skills. regai mwana aratidze skill.. vanoda kudzidza ngavadzidze. Majome must stop pretending sex is not important and does not need to be taught
